Transparency, asymmetric information and cooperation
We inquire experimentally whether asymmetric information in competitive settings and competition per se influence individual social behaviour. Participants perform a task and are remunerated according to two schemes, a non-competitive and a competitive one, then they play a standard public goods game. In the first scheme participants earn a flat remuneration, in the other they are ranked according to their performance and remunerated accordingly.…
Xenophobia is really that: A (rational) fear of the stranger
Plurality, Proportionality, Governability and Factions
Common sense suggests that majoritarian parliaments produce more efficient governments than proportional ones, because fewer decision‐makers are involved. Empirical evidence offers only limited support for this claim. A possible explanation is that the true decision‐makers are not actually the parties, but rather the factions within them. We consider some stylised real proportional cases, i.e. Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, and use simulatio…
Labour supply in presence of taxation financing public services. An experimental approach
Political Extremism and Rationality
Political extremism is widely considered to be the product of irrational behavior. Originally published in 2002, the distinguishing feature of this collection by well-known economists and political scientists from North America, Europe and Australia is to propose a variety of explanations which all insist on the rationality of extremism.

A survey of 410 plant relocations and branch plant creations in the Turin Metropolitan Area is used to formulate a model of the timing and spatial incidence of manufacturing change. Entrepreneurs' expectations about growth or decline are seen as determining the rate of anticipated movement but land use policies and the state of industrial relations may act as constraints on the process. The actual rates of movement over the period 1961-77 are reg…
