Games, 2015
We study framing effects in repeated social dilemmas by comparing payoff-equivalent Give- and Take-framed public goods games under varying matching mechanisms (Partners or Strangers) and levels of feedback (Aggregate or Individual).

An Experimental Dynamic Public Goods Game with Carryover [PDF]

We examine voluntary contributions in a two-stage public good experiment with ‘carryover.’ In two treatments, each subject’s second stage endowment is determined by the return from the public good in the first stage.

International Climate Games: From Caps to Cooperation [PDF]

Greenhouse gas abatement is a public good, so climate policy is a public-goods game and suffers from the free-rider incentives that make the outcome of such games notoriously uncooperative. Adopting an international agreement can change the nature of the

Optimal Control of Fractional Punishment in Optional Public Goods Game

Trends in Computational and Applied Mathematics
This work presents an optimal control problem for an optional public goods game when a fractional punishment is used to improve cooperation. The objective function is mainly determined by the error trajectory, as well as the effort of the controller over

Reputation and Ownership of Public Goods [PDF]

This paper analyzes the effect of reputation on ownership of public goods in the Besley and Ghatak (2001) model. We show that in the dynamic setup the optimal ownership depends not only on the relative valuations for the public good but also on ...

Behaviour in a Two-Stage Two Public Goods Experiment [PDF]

In a two-stage two-public good experiment, we study the effect that subjects’ possibility of contributing to a public good in the first stage of the game has on the voluntary contributions to the second public good.

Reverse game: from Nash equilibrium to network structure, number and probability of occurrence

Royal Society Open Science
In this paper, we introduce a reverse game approach to network-modelled games to determine the network structure among players that can achieve a desired Nash equilibrium. We consider three types of network games: the majority game, the minority game and
