Sekhon Professor Matthew Rabin Spring 2012 Resolve, Reputation, and War: Cultures of Honor and Leaders’ Time-in-Office Copyright 2012 by Allan Dafoe 1 Abstract Resolve, Reputation, and War: Cultures of Honor and Leaders’ Time-in-Office by Allan Dafoe Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven Weber, Chair Leaders throughout history have been concerned—often obsessed—with how other leaders perceive them. Historians have argued that many wars have been fought for purposes of reputation, honor, status, and prestige. However, there is little systematic study of these phenomena, and specifically of the e↵ects of concern for reputation for resolve on interstate conflict behavior. After precisely defining resolve, and reputation for resolve, this dissertation examines this question by developing a family of formal models of escalation and reputation- engagement. From these models I explicitly deduce four testable implications of variation in concern for reputation for resolve that take selection e↵ects into account and are robust to avarietyofassumptions. To test these implications I search for research designs where concern for reputation is manipulated in a manner that is reasonably well-understood, and in which large unknown biases are unlikely. I find two such designs. The first, analyzed in collaboration with Devin Caughey, compares U.S. conflict behavior depending on whether the president is from the U.S. South. The U.S. South has a “culture of honor” that places greater importance on an individual’s reputation for resolve. Using permutation inference and NPC, a technique new to political science, to provide a joint statistical test of the predictions, we find that conflict behavior under Southern presidents is substantially and significantly di↵erent from non-Southern presidents in a manner predicted by my theory. Furthermore, this di↵erence remains significant under a large number of matched comparisons. This result is unlikely to be spurious because of its robustness to conditioning and because of theoretical and empirical inconsistencies in the alternative accounts. The second research design compares the conflict behavior of leaders early in their time- in-office with those same leaders later in their time-in-office. Leaders at the start of their tenure, as compared with themselves later in their career, should care more about their reputations because they have less developed reputations and longer time horizons. Each prediction of my theory is examined and finds statistically significant support with relatively 2 large e↵ect sizes. Alternative potential explanations are systematically ruled out through critical tests. In summary, the results from a set of clear tests of the e↵ect of concern for reputation are consistent with the strongest claims made in the literature: concern for reputation seems to be an extremely important cause of war. i To my parents. ii Contents List of Figures v List of Tables vi 1 Reputation for Resolve in International Relations 1 1.1 Chapter Overview ................................. 2 1.2 Credibility, Deference, Status and other Reputational Aspirations of States . 3 1.2.1 Reputational Aspirations in International Politics ........... 4 1.2.2 Threat Credibility, Deterrence, and Reputation for Power ....... 5 1.3 Reputation for Resolve .............................. 5 1.4 The Fundamental Importance of Reputation for Resolve ........... 9 Figure 1.1 ........................................ 10 1.4.1 Coercion Game: b>a>cand x>y>z................ 10 1.4.2 Cooperation Game: c>a>band y>z>x.............. 11 1.4.3 Importance of Commitment Devices, and hence Reputation ...... 11 1.5 The Study of Concern for Reputation for Resolve (CRR) ........... 12 1.5.1 Sechser 2007 ................................ 13 1.5.2 Research Design Issues in the Study of CRR .............. 13 1.5.3 Selection E↵ects and Testable Implications of CRR .......... 14 1.6 Research Strategy ................................. 15 2 Model of Escalation and Reputation-Engagement 17 2.1 Chapter Overview ................................. 17 2.2 Summary and Analysis of the Formal Models ................. 19 2.2.1 Summary of the Models ......................... 19 2.3 Equilibrium Strategies and Beliefs ........................ 20 2.4 Analysis of the Model ............................... 22 2.4.1 Limiting the Parameter Space Under Consideration .......... 23 2.4.2 Only C Indi↵erence Point Interior?

  • Reputation for Quality
    Econometrica, Vol. 81, No. 6 (November, 2013), 2381–2462 REPUTATION FOR QUALITY BY SIMON BOARD AND MORITZ MEYER-TER-VEHN1 We propose a model of firm reputation in which a firm can invest or disinvest in product quality and the firm’s reputation is defined as the market’s belief about this quality. We analyze the relationship between a firm’s reputation and its investment incentives, and derive implications for reputational dynamics. Reputational incentives depend on the specification of market learning. When con- sumers learn about quality through perfect good news signals, incentives decrease in reputation and there is a unique work–shirk equilibrium with ergodic dynamics. When learning is through perfect bad news signals, incentives increase in reputation and there is a continuum of shirk–work equilibria with path-dependent dynamics. For a class of imperfect Poisson learning processes and low investment costs, we show that there ex- ists a work–shirk equilibrium with ergodic dynamics. For a subclass of these learning processes, any equilibrium must feature working at all low and intermediate levels of reputation and shirking at the top. KEYWORDS: Reputation, monitoring processes, firm dynamics, investment. 1. INTRODUCTION INMOSTINDUSTRIES, firms can invest in the quality of their products through human capital investment, research and development, and organizational change. Often these investments and the resulting quality are imperfectly ob- servable, giving rise to a moral hazard problem. The firm then invests so as to build a reputation for quality, justifying premium prices in the future. This pa- per analyzes the investment incentives in such a market, examining how they depend on the current reputation of the firm and the information structure of market observations.

  • Metacognitive Experiences and the Intricacies of Setting People Straight: Implications for Debiasing and Public Information Campaigns
    METACOGNITIVE EXPERIENCES AND THE INTRICACIES OF SETTING PEOPLE STRAIGHT: IMPLICATIONS FOR DEBIASING AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGNS Norbert Schwarz Lawrence J. Sanna Ian Skurnik Carolyn Yoon I. Introduction Decades of psychological research documented that human judgment often falls short of normative ideals. Social and cognitive psychologists discovered an ever increasing number of systematic biases and illustrated their pervasive role in judgment and decision making (for reviews see Gilovich, GriYn, & Kahneman, 2002; Kahneman, Slovic, & Tversky, 1982; Kerr, MacCoun, & Kramer, 1996; Nisbett & Ross, 1980; Pohl, 2005). Similarly, researchers in applied fields, like health and consumer behavior, identified numerous erro- neous beliefs that impair good decisions and prevent people from doing what would be in their best interest (Christensen, Moran, & Wiebe, 1999; Webley, Burgoyne, Lea, & Young, 2001). In both cases, the remedy seems obvious: If people only thought enough about the issues at hand, considered all the relevant information and employed proper reasoning strategies, their deci- sion making would surely improve. This assumption is at the heart of numerous strategies that attempt to debias human judgment (for a review see Larrick, 2004); it is likewise central to public information campaigns designed to dispel erroneous beliefs and to replace them with more accurate information (for a review see Rice & Atkin, 2001). Unfortunately, these attempts to improve decision making often fail to achieve their goals, even under conditions assumed to foster rational judgment. 127 ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL Copyright 2007, Elsevier Inc.

  • Reputation As Information
    Reputation as Information: A Multilevel Approach to Reputation in Organizations DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Erin Elizabeth Coyne Graduate Program in Labor and Human Resources The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Steffanie L. Wilk, Advisor David B. Greenberger Roy J. Lewicki Copyright by Erin E. Coyne 2010 Abstract Research on reputation has taken a variety of disparate approaches that has created conceptual confusion. This dissertation attempts to disentangle and clarify the reputation construct by elucidating the definition, introducing a theoretical framing, establishing a new level of analysis and investigating interactive effects. A multilevel approach of studying reputation is introduced and serves as a guide for the dissertation in directing the focus on the three main purposes of this study. First, the theoretical foundations of similarity among multiple levels of reputation are established through the development of a “Reputation as Information” framework. Second, a new proximal contextual construct of unit level of reputation is introduced and explored. As such, this study describes the antecedents and outcomes associated with the more proximal level of unit reputation. Third, cross-level effects of the “big fish in the little pond” and the “little fish in the big pond” (personal and unit level reputation) on individual outcomes are investigated. The procedures used to study these issues included gathering organizational data in a field study using employee surveys, supervisor surveys, and obtaining archival information from the company. These data were analyzed using multiple regression, hierarchical linear modeling, and multiple mediation models.

  • Processing Fluency and Aesthetic Pleasure: Is Beauty in the Perceiver’S Processing Experience?
    Personality and Social Psychology Review Copyright © 2004 by 2004, Vol. 8, No. 4, 364–382 Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Processing Fluency and Aesthetic Pleasure: Is Beauty in the Perceiver’s Processing Experience? Rolf Reber Department of Psychosocial Science University of Bergen, Norway Norbert Schwarz Department of Psychology and Institute for Social Research University of Michigan Piotr Winkielman Department of Psychology University of California, San Diego We propose that aesthetic pleasure is a function of the perceiver’s processing dynam- ics: The more fluently perceivers can process an object, the more positive their aes- thetic response. We review variables known to influence aesthetic judgments, such as figural goodness, figure–ground contrast, stimulus repetition, symmetry, and pro- totypicality, and trace their effects to changes in processing fluency. Other variables that influence processing fluency, like visual or semantic priming, similarly increase judgments of aesthetic pleasure. Our proposal provides an integrative framework for the study of aesthetic pleasure and sheds light on the interplay between early prefer- ences versus cultural influences on taste, preferences for both prototypical and ab- stracted forms, and the relation between beauty and truth. In contrast to theories that trace aesthetic pleasure to objective stimulus features per se, we propose that beauty is grounded in the processing experiences of the perceiver, which are in part a func- tion of stimulus properties. What is beauty? What makes for a beautiful face, kiewicz, 1970). This objectivist view inspired many appealing painting, pleasing design, or charming scen- psychological attempts to identify the critical contrib- ery? This question has been debated for at least 2,500 utors to beauty.

  • Interaction-Based Reputation Model in Online Social Networks
    Interaction-based Reputation Model in Online Social Networks Izzat Alsmadi1, Dianxiang Xu2 and Jin-Hee Cho3 1Department of Computer Science, University of New Haven, West Haven, CT, U.S.A. 2Department of Computer Science, Boise State University, Boise, ID, U.S.A. 3US Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD, U.S.A. Keywords: Online Social Networks, Reputation, User Attributes, Privacy, Information Credibility. Abstract: Due to the proliferation of using various online social media, individual users put their privacy at risk by posting and exchanging enormous amounts of messages or activities with other users. This causes a seri- ous concern about leaking private information out to malevolent entities without users’ consent. This work proposes a reputation model in order to achieve efficient and effective privacy preservation in which a user’s reputation score can be used to set the level of privacy and accordingly to determine the level of visibility for all messages or activities posted by the users. We derive a user’s reputation based on both individual and relational characteristics in online social network environments. We demonstrate how the proposed reputation model can be used for automatic privacy assessment and accordingly visibility setting for messages / activities created by a user. 1 INTRODUCTION likes, tags, posts, comments) to calculate the degree of friendship between two entities (Jones et al., 2013).
