Intergroup Conflict: Intergroup conflicts entail conflicts of interests within the competing groups as well. I study a class of games, called team games, which incorporate the intragroup and intergroup levels of conflict. Team games provide a theoretical framework for analyzing the prototypical problems of cooperation and competition that arise within and between groups. They also provide an effective experimental paradigm for studying individual and group behavior in the laboratory.
Group decision-making: Whereas important strategic decisions are often made by groups (e.g., ,boards of directors, committees, governments), the experimental study of strategic decision-making has typically used individuals as the decision-making agents. The goal of my research is to study group decisions in a variety of experimental games. Group members are typically allowed free communication and have to reach a binding agreement concerning the group’s strategy.
