The nature of fishing activities is such that marine habitats can be deteriorated when employing destructive fishing gear. This makes even more complex the determination of sustainable fishing policies and has led some authors to propose dynamic models which take into account this habitat degradation. In this work, we analyze in detail one of...

We consider a discrete time, infinite horizon dynamic game of groundwater extraction. As usual in this kind of models, the marginal extraction cost depends on the level of the groundwater. The goal of this paper is to point out the importance of the moment where this cost is announced to the players. We consider the case where the cost is...

We consider a budget-constrained reverse auction: offers are accepted until somepredefined budget is exhausted. Payments are discriminatory: bidders receive their own bid aspayment when they win the bid. Bidders have a private value for their item which is uniformlydistributed between 0 and 1; they are risk-neutral and items are indivisible....

Consumption satisfaction depends on other factors apart from the inherent characteristic of commodities. Among them, positional concerns are central in behavioural economics. Individuals enjoy returns from the ranking occupied by the consumed item. In public good, agents obtain satisfaction from their relative contribution. We analyse how...

We introduce the family of Conjectural Learning procedures, in which agents form conjectures about what the opponent will play, as a function of their action or some state variable. We prove general properties of these procedures, comparing them to two dynamic systems generated by nearsighted agents solving repeatedly a static game, either...

We consider a discrete time, infinite horizon dynamic game of groundwater extraction.A Water Agency charges an extraction cost to water users, and controls the marginal extraction cost so that it depends, not only on the level of groundwater, but also ontotal water extraction (through a parameter n that represents the degree of strategic...

Social context gives rise, in some individuals, to a desire to conform with other people. Conversely, other people desire to be exclusive or different from the "common herd". We study the interaction between two different agents: the positional player, characterized by the snob effect, and the conformist player, characterized by the bandwagon...
