Motives and implementation: on the design of mechanisms to elicit opinions
Article Abstract:
Attainment of public target by a culture depends on the type of motive its experts possess. A culture tends to achieve public target whenever each of its experts is driven by a private motive to make a recommendation accepted. On the other hand, attainment of public target tends to be elusive for a culture in which all of its experts are driven by a public motive to enhance the likelihood that desirable action will be carried out.

A simple model of equilibrium in search procedures
Article Abstract:
Equilibrium search procedures chosen by players in a simple game-theoretic model employ an equal number of search units, are done in a completely random manner, and are intrinsically inefficient. The model allows players to decide on the search procedures for locating a price in one of the labeled boxes.
