Jump Bidding and Budget Constraints in All-Pay Auctions and Wars of Attrition (2006)

Eddie Dekel, Matthew O. Jackson, Asher Wolinsky Y

We study all-pay auctions (or wars of attrition), where the highest bidder wins an object, but all bidders pay their bids. We consider such auctions when two bidders alternate in raising their bids...

On the Evolution of Attitudes towards Risk in Winner-Take-All Games (1999)

Eddie Dekel, Suzanne Scotchmer

this paper we explore an evolutionary model where preferences, in particular attitudes toward risk, are endogenously determined. In economics, preferences are simply rules for choosing among feasible...

Evolution of Preferences

Dekel, Eddie, Ely, Jeffrey, Yilankaya, Okan

We model, using evolutionary game theory, the implications of endogenous determination of preferences over the outcomes of any given two-player normal form game, G. We consider a large population...

Correlated Equilibrium with Generalized Information Structures

Adam Brandenburger, Eddie Dekel

We study the "generalized correlated equilibria" of a game when players make information processing errors. It is shown that the assumption of information processing errors is equivalent to that of...

Interim Rationalizability

Eddie Dekel, Drew Fudenberg, Stephen Morris

This paper proposes the solution concept of interim rationalizability, and shows that all type spaces that have the same hierarchies of beliefs have the same set of interim rationalizable outcomes....

Topologies on Types

Eddie Dekel, Drew Fudenberg, Stephen Morris

We define and analyze "strategic topologies" on types, under which two types are close if their strategic behavior will be similar in all strategic situations. To oper- ationalize this idea, we adopt...

Payoff Information and Self-Confirming Equilibrium

Eddie Dekel, Drew Fudenberg, David K. Levine

On the Equivalence of Simultaneous and Sequential Binary Elections

Eddie Dekel, Michele Piccione

We explore sequential voting in symmetric two-option environments. We show that the (informative) symmetric equilibria of the simultaneous voting game are also equilibria in any sequential voting...
