Economic theory, in particular game theory, has tried to account for such social preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An intriguing extension of traditional game theory that has been proposed is that players can be motivated by what are sometimes referred to as \u201cpsychological\u201d utilities: in psychological games, a player takes the others into account through his own beliefs about the others\u2019 choices (first-order beliefs) and about others\u2019 beliefs (second-order beliefs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such belief-dependent preferences are important for understanding economic outcomes regarding e.g. anxiety and health, status and conformity, vengeance and wage rigidity, reputation and contracts. The range of topics that have been explored in models of belief-dependent preferences is wide: In his survey paper on \u201cEmotions and Economic Theory\u201d, Elster (1998) argues that a key characteristic of emotions is that \u201cthey are triggered by beliefs\u201d (p. 49). He discusses, inter alia, anger, hatred, guilt, shame, pride, admiration, regret, rejoicing, disappointment, elation, fear, hope, joy, grief, envy, malice, indignation, jealousy, surprise, boredom, sexual desire, enjoyment, worry, and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The belief-dependent preference that has received more support in economic experiments is guilt aversion, i.e. the agent\u2019s preference for not letting down the others\u2019 beliefs on his own behavior (see the survey of Battigalli & Dufwenberg 2022). Guilt aversion has been found to be a driver of prosocial behavior in social dilemmas with asymmetric roles, and especially in the trust game, where the trustee\u2019s guilt aversion implies that the more he believes the truster has trusted him, the more likely he would share after trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This seminar will introduce role-dependent models of guilt aversion in the trust and other social dilemma games (Attanasi et al. 2016) and review theory-driven experimental studies of the strategic impact of guilt aversion in social dilemma games (Attanasi et al. 2023). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oct. 10. 10:00-11:00 room C.714 Giuseppe Attanasi (Sapienza, Roma) Title: Modeling and experimental tests of belief-dependent feelings: are emotions game- and role-dependent?
