TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Suicide attempts and signalling games JO - Mathematical Social Sciences A1 - Rosenthal, R.W. SP - 25 EP - 33 VL - 26 IS - 1 N2 - Suicide attempts that have non-trivial chances of both success and failure are relatively common but difficult to rationalize in a decision-theoretic model. This paper views such a suicide attempt as an attempt to signal credibly and thereby influence the actions of another decision-maker in a game-theoretic model. © 1993.
