An Experimental Study on the Effects of Communication, Credibility, and Clustering in Network Games.
Charness, Gary; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel
; Sutter, Matthias (The MIT Press, 2023-11-17)
We examine how pre-play communication and clustering affect play in a challenging hybrid experimental game on networks. Free-form chat is impressively effective in achieving the non-equilibrium efficient outcome, but ... -
Can there be a market for cheap-talk information? An experimental investigation.
Cabrales, Antonio; Feri, Francesco; Gottardi, Piero; Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2020-03-17)
This paper reports on experiments testing the viability of markets for cheap-talk information. We find that the level of trade in these markets is very small and eventually vanishes. Sellers provide low-quality information ... -
Dirty neighbors - Pollution in an interlinked world.
Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel; Polanski, Arnold (Elsevier, 2020-01-07)
We apply a network approach to analyze individual and aggregate consumption that generates predominately local pollution (e.g., noise, water and air quality, waste disposal sites). This allows us to relate the individual ... -
Engaging academic staff in the quality assurance system in higher education: A field experiment
Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel; Morales-Siles, Antonio José; Rodero-Cosano, Francisco Javier (Elsevier, 2022-10)
A randomised field experiment was conducted at the University of Malaga in 2017 to examine personalised norm-based messages’ effects on response rates to the annual faculty satisfaction survey. This research had a factorial ... -

Far above others.
López-Pintado, Dunia; Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2021-10-29)
We study the role of competitiveness, via interpersonal comparisons, in a society or a large organization. We consider a dynamic model of effort provision. Agents gain an extra utility by producing an outcome above a ... -
Institutional flexibility, political alternation and middle-of-the-road policies
Andina-Díaz, Ascensión; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2021-12-30)
This paper presents a novel explanation for political alternation in democracies, rooted in the benefit for the median voter of keeping policy from drifting too far to either extreme. Central to this argument is the idea ... -
The bureaucracy trap
Andina-Díaz, Ascensión; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2023-07-30)
We study the incentives of political parties to institute reforms that improve bureaucratic quality and increase the ability of governments to implement policy change. We consider a context of dynamic elections where current ... -
Transmission and use of information in network games.
Currarini, Sergio; Feri, Francesco; Hartig, Bjoern; Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2023-04-08)
We design an experiment to study how agents share and make use of information in networks. Agents receive payo -relevant signals automatically shared with neighbours. We compare the use of information in different network ...
