INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENTS - I have opened a Twitter account where I will be posting updates on the Ukrainian-Russian conflict.
- In the forthcoming paper at Management Science "Principal-Agent Settings with Random Shocks", we show that the ability of reciprocity to overcome incentive problems inherent in principal-agent settings is greatly reduced when the agent’s effort is distorted by random shocks and transmitted imperfectly to the principal.
- The survey paper "A Survey of Experimental Research on Contests, All-Pay Auctions and Tournaments" is forthcoming in Experimental Economics. This survey provides a review of more than 230 experimental studies on contests, all-pay auctions and tournaments.
- A summary of my work explaining overbidding (over-dissipation) phenomenon in contest experiments can be found in the paper "Behavioral Dimensions of Contests" which will be published as a chapter in a book A Companion to the Political Economy of Rent Seeking, edited by Roger Congleton and Arye Hillman.
- We have tried to resolve the puzzle of overbidding in contests in the paper “Overbidding and Overspreading in Rent-Seeking Experiments: Cost Structure and Prize Allocation Rules,” which is now published in Games and Economic Behavior.
- If you are interested in studying conflict resolution in the lab, here are the three published papers addressing the problems of commitment, asymmetry, and rights in conflict resolution: “Commitment Problems in Conflict Resolution.”, “When Parity Promotes Peace: Resolving Conflict Between Asymmetric Agents”, and “Why Can’t We Be Friends? Entitlements and the Costs of Conflict.”
- The paper that I wrote with Eric Schniter examining how emotions can be predictive of subsequent behavior is forthcoming in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience: “Predictable and Predictive Emotions: Explaining Cheap Signals and Trust Re-Extension.”
