Interdependent preferences and strategic distinguishability
We study agents whose expected utility preferences are interdependent for informational or psychological reasons. We characterize when two types can be “strategically distinguished” in the sense that they are guaranteed to behave differently in some finite mechanism. We show that two types are strategically distinguishable if and only if they have different hierarchies of interdependent prefere...
متن کاملThe Strategic Advantage of Negatively Interdependent Preferences
We study certain classes of supermodular and submodular games which are symmetric with respect to material payoffs but in which not all players seek to maximize their material payoffs. Specifically, a subset of players have negatively interdependent preferences and care not only about their own material payoffs but also about their payoffs relative to others. We identify sufficient conditions u...
متن کاملThe strategic advantage of interdependent preferences in rent-seeking contests
We study rent-seeking contests, where the set of players contains two groups of players — one with independent preferences and the other with interdependent preferences. It turns out that the latter experience a strategic advantage in general two-player contests and in n-player-contests with nonincreasing marginal efficiency. As to the case of general n-player contests with increasing marginal ...

متن کاملNegatively interdependent preferences
We develop a theory of representation of interdependent preferences that re ̄ect the widely acknowledged phenomenon of keeping up with the Joneses (i.e. of those preferences which maintain that well-being depend on ``relative standing'' in the society as well as on material consumption). The principal ingredient of our analysis is the assumption that individuals desire to occupy a (subjectively)...
