Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy
Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

The Folk Theorem in Dynastic Repeated Games [PDF]
A canonical interpretation of an infinitely repeated game is that of a "dynastic" repeated game: a stage game repeatedly played by successive generations of finitely-lived players with dynastic preferences.

Asymmetric sanctions and corruption: Theory and practice in China
Abstract Asymmetric punishment of partners in crime, intended to incentivize whistle‐blowing, may increase detection and deterrence. The idea is age‐old but its use against corruption is not frequent. We study a 1997 Chinese reform that strengthened such asymmetries for some forms of bribery.

Dynamic Incentives in Incompletely Specified Environments
Consider a repeated interaction where it is unknown which of various stage games will be played each period. This framework separates the basic logic of intertemporal incentives from the requirement that any given strategy profile yields a well‐defined payoff vector.

Accreditation Against Limited Adversarial Noise
An upgraded accreditation (a variant of quantum verification) scheme is presented, significantly relaxing the assumptions, to allow adversarial noise, while preserving the suitability for near‐term / immediate usage. Abstract An accreditation protocol (a variety of quantum verification) is presented, where error is assumed to be adversarial (in ...

Evaluating Allocations of Opportunities
ABSTRACT This paper provides a robust criterion for comparing lists of probability distributions—interpreted as allocations of opportunities—faced by different social groups. We axiomatically argue in favor of comparing those lists of probability distributions on the basis of a uniform—among groups—valuation of their expected utility.
