Ripple Effects: Robust Norms without Punishment
Alistair Barton
I propose a novel, tractable model of pro-social norms in large communities with slightly altruistic agents. Agents participate in the norm to influence others to participate in th…
Purification and Perturbations of Communication and Repeated Games
Alistair Barton
I prove that it is irrational for agents with even slightly private preferences to condition their strategy on private information that is payoff-irrelevant to them, contrary to po…
Robust Communication Between Parties with Nearly Independent Preferences
Alistair Barton
We study finite-state communication games in which the sender's preference is perturbed by random private idiosyncrasies. Persuasion is generically impossible within the class of s…
Dynamic and Stochastic Propagation of Brenier's Optimal Mass Transport
Alistair Barton, Nassif Ghoussoub
We investigate how mass transports that optimize the inner product cost -considered by Y. Brenier- propagate in time along a given Lagrangian. In the deterministic case, we conside…
On Optimal Stochastic Ballistic Transports
Alistair Barton, Nassif Ghoussoub
For a given Lagrangian and probability measures , , we introduce the stochastic…
