Information Cascades and Online Rating Games
Online ratings are based on users’ impressions and opinions they form after using a certain product or service. Hence, the first unknown in the equation is the mechanism under which a user decides to purchase a certain good or use some service. We identify two factors that come into play in such a choice; a subjective factor and an objective factor. The subjective factor is the impression the u...
متن کاملGames in the Classroom: Using Games
In the first article in this series, which appeared in the April!June 2009 issue of IEEE MultiMedia, we presented an overview of using games in the classroom, cited several examples of this approach, and linked the use of games with various cognitive models as they relate to computing education. Most of this work, and the general effectiveness of these approaches with regard to assessment activ...
متن کاملClassroom Games: a Prisoner’s Dilemma
Game theory is often introduced in undergraduate courses in the context of a prisoner’s dilemma paradigm, which illustrates the conflict between social incentives to cooperate and private incentives to defect. We present a very simple card game that efficiently involves a large number of students in a prisoner’s dilemma. The extent of cooperation is affected by the payoff incentives and by the ...
متن کاملAggregate information cascades
We introduce a new model of aggregate information cascades where only one of two possible actions is observable to others. Agents make a binary decision in sequence. The order is random and agents are not aware of their own position in the sequence. When called upon, they are only informed about the total number of others who have chosen the observable action before them. This informational str...
متن کاملSelf-correcting Information Cascades
We report experimental results from long sequences of decisions in environments that are theoretically prone to severe information cascades. Observed behavior is much different—information cascades are ephemeral. We study the implications of a model based on quantal response equilibrium, in which the observed cascade formation/collapse/formation cycles arise as equilibrium phenomena. Consecutiv...
