-Title： "Stable and Weakly Additive Cost Sharing in Shortest Path Problems", with Juan Vidal Puga (University of Vigo) and Eric Bahel (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University).
-Abstract ：In a shortest path problem, agents seek to ship their respective demands; and the cost on a given arc is linear in the flow. Rosenthal (2013) and Bahel and Trudeau (2014) have proposed cost allocations falling in the core of the associated cooperative game. The present work combines core selection with weak versions of the additivity axiom, which allows to characterize a new family of rules. The demander rule charges to each demander the cost of their shortest path; and the supplier rule charges the cost of the second-cheapest path while splitting the excess payment equally between access suppliers. Moreover, with three or more agents, the demander rule is characterized by core selection and a specific version of cost additivity. Finally, convex combinations of the demander rule and the supplier rule are axiomatized using core selection, a second version of cost additivity and two additional axioms that ensure the fair compensation of intermediaries. With three or more agents, the demander rule is characterized by core selection and a specific version of cost additivity. Finally, convex combinations of the demander rule and the supplier rule are axiomatized using core selection, a second version of cost additivity and two additional fairnesss properties.

[Title] A causal identification of wishful beliefs about COVID-19 vaccines(Authors: Alberto Prati (UCL, University of Oxford, LSE); Charlotte Saucet (Paris 1 University))
[Abstract]This study exploits a natural experiment which occurred in the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. UK residents could choose to opt into the vaccination program, but not which vaccine they received. We surveyed a sample of UK residents about their beliefs on the different COVID-19 vaccines before and after receiving their jab. We show that random assignment to a vaccine predicts a divergence of opinions about its safety and effectiveness. Before vaccination, individuals exhibit similar prior beliefs and wishes about the different vaccines. After vaccination, however, they update their beliefs optimistically about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine they received, and state greater preference for the vaccine they actually received. At the individual level, our results provide a causal identification of wishful beliefs in a real-world health setting. At the aggregated level, our data show that belief divergence can occur even when similar people hold similar priors, are exposed to similar information environments, and have no room for the ex-post rationalization of previous decisions.

[Title]： Ingroup Bias with Multiple Identities: The Case of Attitudes towards Religion and Government
[Language]：English
[Abstract] ：Group identity is known to exert a powerful socio-psychological influence on behaviour but to date has been largely explored as a uni-dimensional phenomenon. In an experiment, we consider the role of creating broader attention to multiple orthogonal dimensions of identity, asking whether it may help alleviate ingroup biases. We first induce identity categories in participants in either one or two politically charged identity dimensions documented to be of similar strength and largely orthogonal (religious belief and views about government size). Subsequently, we measure ingroup bias on each separate dimension (without revealing the other dimension) by using third party allocation tasks. We find that creating broader attention to another dimension of identity has a noticeable effect on behaviour in the revealed dimension --- albeit not in the direction expected. Broader attention can generate a significant increase in ingroup allocations at the expense of fairness to outgroup individuals, although the effect varies depending on whether religion or government size is the dimension which is revealed. Evidence suggests that the heterogeneity of such effects is related to the degree of ``harmony'' between groups in the dimensions concerned.

[Title] "Top trading cycles based mechanisms for multiple-type housing markets"
[Language] English
[Abstract] 1) Characterizing the Coordinatewise Top-Trading-Cycles Mechanism for Multiple-Type Housing Markets, with Bettina Klaus and Flip Klijn
We consider the generalization of the classical Shapley and Scarf housing market model of trading indivisible objects (houses) (Shapley and Scarf, 1974) to so-called multiple-type housing markets (Moulin, 1995). When preferences are separable, the prominent solution for these markets is the coordinatewise top-trading-cycles (cTTC) mechanism.
We first show that on the subdomain of lexicographic preferences, a mechanism is unanimous (or onto), individually rational, strategy-proof, and non-bossy if and only if it is the cTTC mechanism (Theorem 1). Second, using Theorem 1, we obtain a corresponding characterization on the domain of separable preferences (Theorem 2). We obtain corresponding results when replacing [strategy-proofness and non-bossiness] with effective group (or pairwise) strategy-proofness (Corollaries 1 and 2). Finally, we show that on the domain of strict preferences, there is no mechanism satisfying unanimity, individual rationality, and strategy-proofness (Theorem 3). Our characterizations of the cTTC mechanism constitute the first characterizations of an extension of the prominent top-trading-cycles (TTC) mechanism to multiple-type housing markets.
2) Endowments-swapping-proofness in Multiple-Type Housing Markets
For Shapley-Scarf housing markets (Shapley and Scarf, 1974), Fujinaka and Wakayama (2018) propose a new incentive property, endowments-swapping-proofness, that excludes manipulations that a pair of agents can conduct before the operation of the selected mechanism by swapping their endowments. We investigate endowments-swapping-proofness for Moulin (1995)’s multiple-type housing markets, which are an extension of Shapley-Scarf housing markets with multi-unit demand. Different to Shapley-Scarf housing markets, for multiple-type housing markets, there are various ways to swap endowments. Motivated by this observation, we introduce three extensions of endowments-swapping-proofness: bundle endowments-swapping-proofness, one type endowments-swapping-proofness, and flexible endowments-swapping-proofness.
Based on the first two weaker endowments-swapping-proofness properties that we proposed, and other well-studied properties (individual rationality, strategy-proofness, and non-bossiness), on several preferences domains we provide characterizations of two extensions of the top-trading-cycles (TTC) mechanism: the Bundle top-trading-cycles (bTTC) mechanism and the coordinate-wise top-trading-cycles (cTTC) mechanism. Moreover, we also show that the strongest possible endowments-swapping-proofness property (flexible endowments-swapping-proofness) leads to an impossibility.
Our characterization of the bTTC mechanism constitutes the first characterization of an extension of the prominent TTC mechanism to multiple-type housing markets with strict preferences.

[Title] "Linguistic Convention and Language Segregation for the Basque Language"
[Language] English
[Abstract] This paper examines the links between proficiency, motivation, and use for the Basque minority language. We apply the model proposed
by Laruelle et al. (2019) and use data from the Sixth Sociolinguistic Survey on Basque (2019). We find that language segregation, i.e. the
fact that speakers meet with other speakers depending on their degree of motivation to use the minority language, plays a crucial role
in shaping the link between proficiency, motivation, and use.

[Title]： "How do markets react to (un)expected fundamental value shocks? An experimental analysis"
[Abstract]：We study experimentally the reaction of asset markets to fundamental value (FV) shocks. The pre-shock and post-shock FV are both constant, but after the shock the FV is either higher or lower than before. We compare treatments with expected shocks (the date and the magnitude are known in advance, but not the direction) to treatments with unexpected shocks (subjects only know that a shock may occur but are unaware of the date and the magnitude). We observe mispricing in markets without shocks and in markets with shocks. Shocks tend to reduce the post-shock price deviation and to increase the difference of opinions (DO), whatever the type of the shock (expected or unexpected) and its direction (upwards or downwards). In contrast to standard predictions, the larger DO after a shock is not accompanied by an increase in transaction volumes, but by sharp depression of share turnover.

[Speaker]：Ali Ozkes（EMLV business school)[Title]："Polarization in Networks: Identification-alienation Framework" (joint work with Kenan Huremovic (IMT Lucca, Italy))
[Abstract]：We introduce a model of polarization in networks as a unifying setting for the measurement of polarization that covers a wide range of applications. We consider a substantially general setup for this purpose: node- and edge-weighted, undirected, and connected networks. We generalize the axiomatic characterization of Esteban and Ray (1994) and show that only a particular instance within this class can be used justifiably to measure polarization in networks.

[Title]： "Trimming extreme reports in preference aggregation"
[Language]：English
[Abstract] ：Eliminating –or trimming– extreme reports before aggregating them is usually motivated by the perception that it constitutes a remedy for strategic misreporting. This work focuses on the strategic calculus of voting when using trimmed-mean mechanisms for preference aggregation. Contrary to the above presumption, we show, both formally and experimentally that, under such mechanisms, voters persistently resort to strategic polarization for all but the most extreme levels of trimming. Furthermore, we show that while trimming promotes efficiency (i.e. the average payoff increases), it also leads to more inequality (i.e. the minimum payoff decreases). While experimental results provide some support for the idea that trimming can mitigate strategic misreporting, the extent of this non-equilibrium behavior is not enough to overturn the comparative static predictions in this setting.

[Place] Waseda University, 3-704[Speaker] Alina Velias（the London School of Economics）[Title] The ignorance trap: who falls prey to expert-defying populism and why [Language] [English]
[Abstract] How do people choose expert advice? What personal traits determine the persuasiveness of expert versus populist advice? Populists, in our context, conform to commonly held beliefs, even when wrong. Do participants choose the high-accuracy adviser (‘the Expert’), or the low accuracy one (‘the Charlatan’), whose answers are designed to be similar to the modal participant’s? In this paper, building on previous work by Alysandratos, Boukouras, Georganas & Maniadis (2021), we develop and test on a representative sample of 12000 subjects, a simple task that captures the essence of the expertise detection problem, yet has a very tractable theoretical solution: if you (believe you) are knowledgeable in a topic, choose experts you agree with. If you are not knowledgeable, you are better served by experts that tell you what you did not think of yourself.
We find that high human capital subjects find it easier to apply the counterintuitive strategy than others. Simply put, to be able to persuade the median citizen and those lying lower in the cognitive distribution, experts face a double challenge: they have to lower the citizens’ disbelief regarding the expert’s advice and convince them that any lingering disbelief might be a good sign. Our findings provide a novel explanation why low-skilled citizens are susceptible to populism. It is not about preferences, incentives, or simple motivated reasoning. Some citizens simply cannot distinguish populist charlatans from true experts. While we have identified a mechanism that allows charlatans to win, and the target audience for this sort of populism, finding comprehensive solutions to overcome it is left for further research.

[Title] Don’t tell anyone I lost to a girl! Gender stereotypes and hiding low performance
[Language] English
[Abstract] Social scientists from several disciplines have asserted that men incur a psychological cost when they are outperformed by a female competitor. We conduct a laboratory experiment that allows us to measure this cost for performance in a mathematical task. The experiment is conducted in both the US and China.We find that in our Chinese sample, men are willing to pay more to hide the fact that they have performed worse than another individual than women are, while there is no gender difference in the US. In China, women are willing to pay more to hide poor performance when losing to another woman than to a man. In the US, the opposite pattern is observed; women have a greater cost of revealing that they have lost to a man than to another woman. The gender of the counterpart is not a determinant of men’s willingness to hide poor performance. An incentivized questionnaire reveals that a stereotype that men would outperform women exists in the Chinese sample, but not among our American participants.

Global climate cooperation without sanctions
The negative result on the level of cooperation in the literature of international environmental agreements is caused by the static nature of a two-stage participation game. We present a dynamic coalition formation game where coalitions are irreversible, and countries negotiate transfer schemes to attract non-participants. We show that if countries are sufficiently patient, then there exists a Markov perfect equilibrium where the grand coalition forms immediately. We further show that if countries are impatient, the grand coalition gradually forms in finitely many rounds for every Markov perfect equilibrium under a super-additivity condition. The results hold for any transfer scheme satisfying individual rationality and coalitional efficiency.

[Title] The Winner-Take-All Dilemma: Theory and Experiments
[Language] English
Abstract:
We consider a preference aggregation problem in which the society is partitioned into different groups and each group decides the internal rule by which the members’ preferences are aggregated. Kikuchi and Koriyama (2021) characterized the winner-take-all rule by strategic dominance while the Pareto set is fully given by the generalized proportional profiles, implying that the game is an n-player prisoner’s dilemma. However, Pareto dominance by the purely proportional profile is proven only asymptotically and there are counterexamples either for a small number of groups, with internal heterogeneity, or with costly voting. In this project, we provide welfare analysis by considering conditions under which the Pareto dominance is violated. Using our theoretical and experimental analysis, we provide insights on the condition under which the oft-claimed statements hold, such as “the winner-take-all protects small states” or “the winner-take-all protects minority.”

[Title] Stability properties of the core in a generalized assignment problem (joint with Ryo Kawasaki)
[Abstract] We show that the core of a generalized assignment problem satisfies two types of stability properties. First, the core is the unique stable set defined using the weak domination relation when outcomes are restricted to individually rational and pairwise feasible ones. Second, the core is the unique stable set with respect to a sequential domination relation that is defined by a sequence of weak domination relations that satisfy outsider independence. An equivalent way of stating this result is that the core satisfies the property commonly stated as the existence of a path to stability. These results add to the importance of the core in an assignment problem where agents' preferences may not be quasilinear.

[Title] Sharing the Surplus and Proportional Values.
[Abstract] We introduce a family of proportional surplus division values for TU-games. Each value first assigns to each player a compromise between his stand-alone worth and the average stand-alone worths over all players, and then allocates the remaining worth among the players in proportion to their stand-alone worths. This family contains the proportional division value and the new egalitarian proportional surplus division value as two special cases. We provide characterizations for this family of values, as well as for each single value in this family.

[Title] Valuation Monotonicity, Fairness and Stability in Assignment Problems
(joint work with Marina Nunez and Francisco Robles
[Abstract] In two-sided assignment markets with transferable utility, we first introduce two weak monotonicity properties that are compatible with stability. We show that for a fixed population, the sellers-optimal (respectively the buyers-optimal) stable rules are the only stable rules that satisfy object-valuation antimonotonicity (respectively buyer-valuation monotonicity).
