Using belief elicitation, the paper investigates the process of belief formation and evolution in a signaling game in which a common prior is not induced. Both prior and posterior beliefs of Receivers about Senders' types are elicited, as well as bel... Read More about Belief formation in a signaling game without common prior: an experiment.

Communication, leadership and coordination failure (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate the limits of communication and leadership in avoiding coordination failure in minimum effort games. Our environment is challenging, with low benefits of coordination relative to the effort cost. We consider two leader types: cheap-tal...

Evolution of consistent conjectures in semi-aggregative representation of games, with applications to public good games and contests (2017)

In a semi-aggregative representation of a game, the payoff of a player depends on a player's own strategy and on a personalized aggregate of all players' strategies. Suppose that each player has a conjecture about the reaction of the personalized agg...
