Risk and wealth in a model of self-fulfilling currency attacks (2007)

Guimaraes, Bernardo, Morris, Stephen

Market participants’ risk attitudes, wealth and portfolio composition influence their positions in a pegged foreign currency and, therefore, may have important effects on the sustainability of...

Child support awards in Britain: an analysis of data from the families and children study (2007)

Morris, Stephen

This paper examines the extent to which mothers that care for children where the father is non-resident have an award or agreement for child support in place. Data from the Families and Children...

On the Form of Transfers in Special Interests.

Coate, Stephen, Morris, Stephen

An important question in political economy concerns the form of transfers to special interests. The Chicago view is that political competition leads politicians to make such transfers efficiently....

Political Correctness

Stephen Morris

An informed advisor wishes to convey her valuable information to an uninformed decision maker with identical preferences. Thus she has a current incentive to truthfully reveal her information. But if...

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...

Social Value of Public Information

Stephen Morris, Hyun Song Shin

What are the welfare effects of enhanced dissemination of public information through the media and disclosures by market participants with high public visibility? We examine the impact of public...

Robust Implementation in General Mechanisms

Dirk Bergemann, Stephen Morris

A social choice function is robustly implemented if every equilibrium on every type space achieves outcomes consistent with it. We identify a robust monotonicity condition that is necessary and (with...

Ex post implementation

Bergemann, Dirk, Morris, Stephen

We analyze the problem of fully implementing a social choice set in ex post equilibrium. We identify an ex post monotonicity condition that is necessary and--in economic environments--sufficient for...

The Role of the Common Prior in Robust Implementation

Dirk Bergemann, Stephen Morris

We consider the role of the common prior for robust implementation in an environment with interdependent values. Specifically, we investigate a model of public good provision which allows for...

GP supply and obesity

Morris, Stephen, Gravelle, Hugh

We investigate the relationship between area general practitioner (GP) supply and individual body mass index (BMI) in England. Individual level BMI is regressed against area whole time equivalent GPs...

Approximate common knowledge revisited

Stephen Morris

Suppose we replace "knowledge" by "belief with probability p" in standard definitions of common knowledge. Very different notions arise depending on the exact definition of common knowledge used in...

Interaction Games: A Unified Analysis of Incomplete Information, Local Interaction, and Random Matching

Stephen Morris

Incomplete information, local interaction, and random matching games all share a common structure. A type or player interacts with various subsets of the set of all types/players. A type/player's...

Repeated Games with Almost-Public Monitoring

George J. Mailath, Stephen Morris

In repeated games with imperfect public monitoring, players can use public signals to coordinate their behavior perfectly, and thus support cooperative outcomes with the threat of punishments. But...

Repeated Games with Imperfect Private Monitoring: Notes on a Coordination Perspective

George J. Mailath, Stephen Morris

In repeated games with imperfect public monitoring, players can use public signals to perfectly coordinate their behavior. Our study of repeated games with imperfect private monitoring focusses on...

Finance Applications of Game Theory

Franklin Allen, Stephen Morris

Traditional finance theory based on the assumptions of symmetric information and perfect and competitive markets has provided many important insights. These include the Modigliani and Miller...
