An individual (the leader) with free access to information decides how much public evidence to collect. Conditional on this information, another individual with conflicting preferences (the follower) undertakes an action that affects the payoff of both players. In this game of incomplete but symmetric information, we characterize the rents obtained by the leader due to his control of the genera...

We investigate experimentally whether the extent of conditional cooperation in public good games depends on the marginal per capita return (MPCR) to the public good and type of game. The MPCR is varied from 0.2 to 0.4 to 0.8. The ‘standard’ game, in which three players contribute before a follower, is compared with a leader-follower game, in which one player leads and three follow. Even though ...

We study for the first time, a leadership game in which one agent, acting as leader, faces another agent, acting as follower, whose behaviour is not known a priori by the leader, being one among a set of possible behavioural profiles. The main motivation is that in real-world applications the common game-theoretical assumption of perfect rationality is rarely met, and any specific assumption on...

We consider the following two-player pricing game. The second player, called follower, minimizes a continuous function plus a linear term over a compact subset of R≥0. The coefficients (or prices) in this linear term are chosen by the first player, the leader. The revenue of the leader is then the amount of the objective value that comes from the prices she set. The goal of the leader is to set...

Merging is, in general, a challenging task for both human drivers and autonomous vehicles, especially dense traffic, because the merging vehicle typically needs to interact with other vehicles identify or create gap safely merge into. In this paper, we consider problem of control forced scenarios. We propose novel game-theoretic controller, called Leader-Follower Game Controller (LFGC), which i...

in this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. to this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using lagrange equations of motion. then, using adams multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in matlab software is verified. after that, ...

The findings from this cross-sectional study on 27 corporate employees reveal relationships between leader and follower leadership behaviors and follower identity with the leader. A positive relationship was found between the leaders’ follower-centered leadership and followers’ follower-centered leadership, and the leaders’ capable manager leadership and followers’ capable manager leadership. F...
