Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2011 We conduct a general analysis of the effects of inequality aversion on decisions by homogeneous players in static and dynamic games.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 Teams are becoming increasingly important in work settings. We develop a framework to study the strategic implications of a meritocratic notion of desert under which team members care about receiving what they feel they deserve.
