INFORMATION UKRAINIAN FIGHT FOR FREEDOM - I am so sorry to see how centuries long friendship between Ukrainians and Russians has been shattered into pieces by recent events.
- Here’s a proposal signed by many world renowned economists suggesting decentralization initiative in Ukraine.
ANNOUNCEMENTS - One of my personally favorite papers is forthcoming at Experimental Economics: “Recognizing Contributors: An Experiment on Public Goods”.
- The two new papers on conflict resolution are forthcoming at the Journal of Peace Research and the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization: “Why Can’t We Be Friends? Entitlements and the Costs of Conflict” and “When Parity Promotes Peace: Resolving Conflict Between Asymmetric Agents”.
- I have agreed to serve as an associate editor at the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization.
- If you are interested in experimental studies on contests, please find the following two papers that review most of the existing literature: "A Survey of Experimental Research on Contests, All-Pay Auctions and Tournaments" provides a review of more than 230 experimental studies on contests, all-pay auctions and tournaments. "Overbidding and Heterogeneous Behavior in Contest Experiments" suggests different explanations for the overbidding phenomenon in contests, including bounded rationality, utility of winning, other-regarding preferences, probability distortion, and the shape of the payoff function. It also provides explanations for heterogeneous behavior of contestants based on differences in preferences towards winning, inequality, risk and losses, and demographic differences.
