Games and Phone Numbers: Do Short Term Memory Bounds Affect Strategic Behavior? ∗ (2008)
Jel Codes C, Giovanna Devetag, Massimo Warglien
Research in experimental and behavioral game theory has revealed a substantial and persistent degree of heterogeneity in the strategic behavior of real individuals. While the prevailing theoretical...

Mental models and Local models semantics: the problem of information integration Paolo (2007)
In this paper, we sketch a framework complementing the theory of mental models with the notion of context. A context is defined as a collection of local mental models, namely mental models which...
The Geometry of Negation (2003)
Achille Varzi Department, Achille C. Varzi, Massimo Warglien
We consider two ways of thinking about negation: (i) as a form of complementation (the negation of a proposition p holds exactly in those situations in which p fails), and (ii) as an operation of...
Representing others' preferences in mixed motive games: was Schelling right? (2002)
Devetag, Giovanna, Warglien, Massimo
The available experimental evidence suggests that even two-person normal form games with an elementary action space present substantial degrees of cognitive difficulty. We submit that the relational...

Rossi, Alessandro, Warglien, Massimo
Issues of fairness in hierarchies have been mostly investigated - both theoretically and experimentally - within dyadic principle-agent relationships. In this paper we consider triangular...

Rossi, Alessandro, Warglien, Massimo
Issues of fairness within the agency framework have traditionally been investigated - both theoretically and experimentally - within two alternative approaches: a "vertical", hierarchical framework...
Rossi, Alessandro, Warglien, Massimo
The research focuses on the use of laboratory experimentation in order to design an effective MBO program for the executives of the major Italian electric utility provider (Enel). A game theoretical...
Stochastic learning in co-ordination games : a simulation approach (1999)
Zaninotto, Enrico, Warglien, Massimo, Gaio, Loris
In the presence of externalities, consumption behaviour depends on the solution of a co-ordination problem. In our paper we suggest a learning approach to the study of co-ordination in consumption...

Learning from the experience of others: an experiment on information contagion (1996)
Narduzzo, Alessandro, Warglien, Massimo
Advances in stochastic system analysis have opened the way to a reconsideration of the processes through which behaviors spread in a population of individuals or organizations. One peculiar...
Computer Mediated Communication and the Emergence of "Electronic Opportunism" (1996)
Rocco, Elena, Warglien, Massimo
An experiment on how communication affects cooperation in a social dilemma shows that computer mediated communication (CMC) and face to face communication have markedly different effects on patterns...

Hierarchical Selection and Organizational Adaptation (1995)
The paper portrays the firm as a hierarchy of processes, exploring how interactions among nested dynamics shape the evolution of organizations. A computer model of intraorganizational evolution shows...
Nuove tecnologie e cambiamenti organizzativi: alcune implicazioni per le imprese italiane

The recent literature on the productivity gains due to the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) has stressed the importance of the complementarities between ICT and...
The emergence of simple languages in an experimental coordination game
Selten, Reinhard, Warglien, Massimo
We investigate in a series of laboratory experiments how costs and benefits of linguistic communication affect the emergence of simple languages in a coordination task when no common language is...
Learning and equilibrium selection in a coordination game with heterogeneous agents
Alberto Fogale, Paolo Pellizzari, Massimo Warglien
We study a modified version of the coordination game presented in [van Huyck et al., 1994], where a representative selection dynamics was proposed to explain experimental data. Assuming that the...

It has been suggested that players often produce simplified and/or misspecified mental representations of interactive decision problems (Kreps, 1990). We submit that the relational structure of...
Yaakov Kareev, Massimo Warglien
When the amount of information to be dealt with exceeds people’s short-term memory capacity, they must resort to the sampling of information. In the present study we show that, under conditions of...
