Interactive team reasoning: A contribution to the theory of co-operation

Another frame, another game? Explaining framing effects in economic games

“…A competing class of theories assumes that social preferences themselves are flexible and to some degree dependent on the context frame (e.g., Akerlof & Kranton, 2000;Bacharach, 1999Bacharach, , 2006Bacharach & Bernasconi, 1997;Brewer & Kramer, 1986;Gold & Sugden, 2007a, 2007bKramer & Brewer, 1984;Sugden, 1993Sugden, , 2000Sugden, , 2015Wit & Wilke, 1992). Foremost, group identity theories assume that players first categorise all players, including themselves, into groups.…”

Trustworthiness and Motivations

“…It is difficult to disentangle whether this is caused by concern for the outcome of the group or by altruism because, particularly in small groups, increasing group identity may also increase inter--personal altruism between members of the group. However, it is important to distinguish the two concerns conceptually because they may lead to different outcomes (Bacharach, 1999;Gold & Sugden, 2007).…”

We-Thinking and 'Double-Crossing' Frames, Reasoning and Equilibria

“…In its general formulation, it has been proposed by David Hodgson (1967), Donald Regan (1980), Margaret Gilbert (1989), Susan Hurley (1989), Raimo Tuomela (1995), and Martin Hollis (1998). Within this body of literature, Robert Sugden (1993Sugden ( , 2000Sugden ( , 2003 and Michael Bacharach (1995Bacharach ( , 1997Bacharach ( , 1999Bacharach ( , 2006 have developed analytical frameworks from an economic point of view. The main claim of scholars that analyze we-thinking is that it can be endorsed by people when they face a decision problem.…”

“…The probability M is common knowledge # , in fact: in coming to frame a situation as a problem for us', an individual also gain some sense of how likely it is that another individual would frame it in the same way ( Trying to go deeper into the matter, Bacharach aims to explain how a frame, in particular a we-frame, may come to mind. In his earlier works (Bacharach, M. 1997(Bacharach, M. , 1999 he proposes that the possibility of team reasoning is related to having`scope for cooperation' and to the`harmony of interests'.…”
