A Signalling Demonstrations Model: Application to the Chilean Case
(2020) NEKN01 20201Department of Economics
- Abstract
- This thesis studies demonstrations in a game theoretic framework. In the model designed, demonstrations are explored as signals from different types of agents who pursue a redistribution in their society. The types of agents depend on their likelihood to achieve a “large” demonstration and therefore a franchise extension. The ones in power cannot distinguish between the types of agents, thus it is an incomplete information game. An empirically observed equilibrium is proven, where all the types choose to demonstrate, and only large demonstration produces a franchise extension. The specific equilibrium is then applied to real life situation with a major focus on the demonstrations that took place in Chile 2019.
