不平等博弈是一个非对称的2 × 2协调博弈,在这个博弈中,除了在非效率纳什均衡(NE)中,参与人1的收益远远高于参与人2。这两个玩家可能对两个NE有共同或冲突的利益。本文研究了一种允许局中人在不平等博弈结束后自愿转移收益的再分配方案。我们发现,再分配方案诱导从玩家1到玩家2在共同和冲突的利益游戏,是特别有效的,在提高效率的协调和减少协调失败的冲突利益游戏。我们解释这些发现,考虑互惠性的球员1在回应的牺牲,球员2在实现有效的协调,在利益冲突的游戏。
An inequality game is an asymmetric 2 × 2 coordination game in which player 1 earns a substantially higher payoff than player 2 except in the inefficient Nash equilibrium (NE). The two players may have either common or conflicting interests over the two NE. This paper studies a redistribution scheme which allows the players to voluntarily transfer their payoffs after the play of an inequality game. We find that the redistribution scheme induces positive transfer from player 1 to player 2 in both common- and conflicting- interest games, and is particularly effective in increasing efficient coordination and reducing coordination failures in conflicting-interest games. We explain these findings by considering reciprocity by player 1 in response to the sacrifice made by player 2 in achieving efficient coordination in conflicting-interest games.
