Avinash Dixit (2003)”On Mode of Economic Governance”





This is a study for explaining intermediate in repeated game. The paper explores a model of contract governance in large-group interactions by profit-maximizing private intermediation. In conclusion, it says four things:

Under self-government, the choice between honesty and cheating for each side is similar and produces different outcome. And scope for one-sided or two-sided private for-profit government.

A better public information can locally increase rather than lower the intermediary’s profit.

Punishment is better than information in terms of profitanbility.

Profitable intermediation is contested by monopoly.


Q How it set the strategy?
Q What is “And scope for one-sided or two-sided private for-profit government.”?
Q Is this summary right?
