Can subsidies promote Pareto-optimum coordination? We found that partially subsidizing 2 out of 6 players in a laboratory coordination game usually produced better coordination and higher total payoffs both with deterministic and stochastic payoffs. After removing the subsidy, high coordination continued in most groups with stochastic payoffs, but declined for groups with deterministic ones. A ...

The one-shot prisoner’s dilemma game has a unique dominance-solvable equilibrium. While others have studied framing some aspects of the game under laboratory conditions, the effects of non-neutral strategy labels has received significantly less study. In this experiment, I compare the effects of non-neutral strategy labels to baseline conditions, under both complete and incomplete information c...

Outcomes research exists incorporating non-digital games in veterinary education; however, little research examines outcomes from digital applications. Bauman’s Layered-Learning Model was applied to investigate whether a digital matching game produced short-term knowledge gains in veterinary students. Two groups of students (n1=67; n2=55) practiced the matching game for an hour. A Wilcoxon sign...

This study aims to determine the effect of snake and ladder educational game therapy (APE) on reducing anxiety in hospitalized children. uses an experimental method with a one-group pre-post test design. The results showed that average level before playing treated children was 19.13 moderate category. rate after 14.20 mild grade. In conclusion, play reduces levels children.

We consider a Bayesian game, namely the Battle of the Sexes with private information, in which each player has two types, High and Low. We allow cheap talk regarding players’ types before the game and prove that the unique fully revealing symmetric cheap talk equilibrium exists for a low range of prior probability of the High-type. This equilibrium has a desirable type-coordination property : i...

Economic policy is modeled as the outcome of a (political) game between two interest groups. The possible ex-post (realized) outcomes in the game correspond to the proposed policies. In the literature the policies fought for are exogenous. We extend such games by allowing the endogenous determination of the proposed policies. In a first stage the groups decide which policy to lobby for and then...

Gender bias is an increasingly important issue in sports journalism. In this work, we propose a language-model-based approach to quantify differences in questions posed to female vs. male athletes, and apply it to tennis post-match interviews. We find that journalists ask male players questions that are generally more focused on the game when compared with the questions they ask their female co...

Organizations often distribute resources through weighted voting. We analyze this setting using a noncooperative bargaining game based on the Baron-Ferejohn (1989) model. Unlike analyses derived from cooperative game theory, we find that each voter’s expected payoff is proportional to her voting weight. An exception occurs when many high-weight voters exist, as low-weight voters may expect disp...
