Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Finally, we simulate our game theoretic model and study how two key parameters of the model influence the distribution of power both in equilibrium and after one-shot interaction.

Pseudocode Yes Further details on the setup of our experiments, including pseudo-code for the algorithms of OSI and IRBD are provided in the appendix.
Open Source Code No The paper provides a link to an arXiv preprint ("2https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.07070.pdf") which is a full version of the paper, not a code repository. It does not explicitly state that source code is available or provide a link to it.
Open Datasets No The paper states, "we use an accuracy vector Q R30, where each element in Q is drawn from a Gaussian distribution N(0.75, 0.125)," indicating synthetically generated data rather than a publicly available dataset with concrete access information.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating synthetic data for its experiments but does not specify training, validation, or test dataset splits. It mentions random sampling of coalitions for DB estimation, which is not a dataset split.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used for running its experiments, such as CPU or GPU models, or memory specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions implementing an "approximation method described by Bachrach et al. (2008)" but does not list any specific software or library dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes We set |N| = 30, the quota β = 16, and for each parameter setting, we use an accuracy vector Q R30, where each element in Q is drawn from a Gaussian distribution N(0.75, 0.125). All statistics are the mean value over 50 instances for each parameter setting.
