The logic of secret alliances

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Alliances are typically understood as agreements intended to deter aggression from enemy states. By signaling an ally's commitment to a protégé state, a shared enemy may be deterred from attacking. In light of this signaling logic, secret alliances are puzzling.

Bayesian Game Theory: Limitations of Incomplete Information in Determining Probabilities and Payoffs

Journal of Student Research
Game theory is a complex area of study based on principles of mathematics and statistics. Simple, two-player games such as the Prisoner’s Dilemma demonstrate the basics of probabilities, outcomes, and payoff matrices. Often, game theory involves games of complete information, where all information is known to all players.

Simple Coalitional Games with Beliefs

, 2009
We introduce coalitional games with beliefs (CGBs), a natural generalization of coalitional games to environments where agents possess private beliefs regarding the capabilities (or types) of others.

Police department design, political pressure, and racial inequality in arrests

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper theorizes a source of bias in discretionary arrests: strategic limits on police officer learning. Officers have a variety of tactics at their disposal besides arrest that they use for less serious offenses when they judge the underlying behavior to be less severe. In departments led by a chief with special expertise in crime control,

The Truth is in the Eye of the Beholder: or Equilibrium in Beliefs and Rational Learning in Games [PDF]

Games with incomplete information or randomness in the moves of others typically have many decision-theoretically equivalent formulations of the type space.

Reviewing fast or slow: A theory of summary reversal in the judicial hierarchy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Appellate courts with discretionary dockets have multiple ways to review lower courts. We develop a formal model that evaluates the trade‐offs between “full review”—which features full briefing, oral arguments, and signed opinions—versus “quick review,” where a higher court can summarily reverse a lower court. We show that having the option of

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

Existence of Bayesian Equilibria in Incomplete Information Games without Common Priors

This paper focuses on finite-player incomplete information games where players may hold mutually inconsistent beliefs without a common prior. We introduce absolute continuity of beliefs, extending the classical notion of absolutely continuous information in Milgrom and Weber (1985), and prove that Bayesian equilibria exist under broad conditions ...

The Short and the Long of It: Stock‐Flow Matching in the US Housing Market

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From 2006 until 2020, the probability of selling a house in the U.S. declined sharply after listing for 2 weeks. Moreover, sales within the first 2 weeks of listing (“quick sales”) and sales happening afterward (“slow sales”) behaved differently over the housing cycle.
