Heterogeneous Noise and Stable Miscoordination [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Science Research Network, 2023
Coordination games feature two types of equilibria: pure equilibria, where players successfully coordinate their actions, and mixed equilibria, where players frequently experience miscoordination. We investigate learning dynamics where agents observe the

Using Team Discussions to Understand Behavior in Indefinitely Repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma Games

open access: yesAmerican Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2023
We compare behavior of two person teams with individuals in indefinitely repeated prisoner dilemma games with perfect monitoring. Team discussions are used to understand the rationale underlying these choices and how these choices come about.

Dynamic Price Competition: Theory and Evidence from Airline Markets

open access: yesSocial Science Research Network, 2022
We introduce a model of oligopoly dynamic pricing where firms with limited capacity face a sales deadline. We establish conditions under which the equilibrium is unique and converges to a system of differential equations.

The Effect of Sequentiality on Cooperation in Repeated Games

open access: yesAmerican Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2022
Sequentiality of moves in an infinitely repeated prisoner’s dilemma does not change the conditions under which mutual cooperation can be supported in equilibrium relative to simultaneous decision-making.

Strategic Observational Learning [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Science Research Network, 2022
. We study learning by privately informed forward-looking agents in a simple repeated-action setting of social learning. Under a symmetric signal structure, forward-looking agents behave myopically for any degrees of patience.

Dynamic Persuasion With Outside Information

open access: yesAmerican Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2020
A principal seeks to persuade an agent to accept an offer of uncertain value before a deadline expires. The principal can generate information, but exerts no control over exogenous outside information.

Does Information Break the Political Resource Curse? Experimental Evidence from Mozambique

open access: yesThe American Economic Review, 2019
Natural resources can have a negative impact on the economy through corruption and civil conflict. This paper tests whether information can counteract this political resource curse.

Progressive Learning

open access: yesEncyclopedia of Evolutionary Psychological Science, 2021
We study a dynamic principal-agent relationship with adverse selection and limited commitment. We show that when the relationship is subject to productivity shocks, the principal may be able to improve her value over time by progressively learning the ...

Slow to Anger and Fast to Forgive: Cooperation in an Uncertain World

open access: yes, 2010
We study the experimental play of the repeated prisoner's dilemma when intended actions are implemented with noise. In treatments where cooperation is an equilibrium, subjects cooperate substantially more than in treatments without cooperative equilibria.

Biased-Belief Equilibrium [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2019
We investigate how distorted, yet structured, beliefs can persist in strategic situations. Specifically, we study two-player games in which each player is endowed with a biased-belief function that represents the discrepancy between a player’s beliefs ...
