Self-Serving Use of Equity Rules in Bargaining with Asymmetric Outside Options

Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Rilke, Rainer … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

We experimentally investigate multiple notions of equity in ultimatum bargaining with asymmetric outside options. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978), we derive three different equity rules that can explain 43% of all offers. Our within-subject design further...

Does Bargaining Matter in the Small Firm Matching Model?

L'Haridon, Olivier; Malherbet, Franck; Pérez-Duarte, … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010

’s matching model of unemployment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt that has been made to implement and … systematically compare these solutions in search-matching economies. Our results are twofold. First from the theoretical …/methodological viewpoint, we extend a somewhat flexible search-matching economy to alternative bargaining solutions. In particular, we prove …

Canonical Correlation and Assortative Matching: A Remark

Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012

In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

Selfish Altruism, Fierce Cooperation and the Emergence of Cooperative Equilibria from Passing and Shooting

Askitas, Nikos - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014

There is continuing debate about what explains cooperation and self-sacrifice in nature and in particular in humans. This paper suggests a new way to think about this famous problem. I argue that, for an evolutionary biologist as well as a quantitative social scientist, the triangle of two...

Determinants and Policy Simulation of Firms Cooperation in Innovation

Heshmati, Almas; Lenz-Cesar, Flávio - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

This research introduces an agent-based simulation model representing the dynamic processes of cooperative R&D in the manufacturing sector of South Korea. Firms' behavior is defined according to empirical findings on the Korean Innovation Survey 2005 and captured in a multivariate probit...

Efficiency Gains from Team-Based Coordination: Large-Scale Experimental Evidence

Feri, Francesco; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Sutter, Matthias - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008

The need for efficient coordination is ubiquitous in organizations and industries. The literature on the determinants of efficient coordination has focused on individual decision-making so far. In reality, however, teams often have to coordinate with other teams. We present an experiment with...

Dynamics of Intrahousehold Bargaining

Andaluz, Joaquín; Marcén, Miriam; Molina, José Alberto - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008

This paper studies the dynamics of bargaining in an intrahousehold context. To explore long-term partner relationships, we analyse bilateral bargaining by considering that spouses take decisions sequentially. We conclude that a greater valuation of the present, rather than the future, for the...

The Economics of First-Contract Mediation

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Luttens, Roland Iwan - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

This paper provides an economic foundation for non-binding mediation to stimulate first collective bargaining agreements, as implemented in British Columbia since 1993. We show that the outcome of first-contract mediation is Pareto efficient and proves immune to the insider-outsider problem of...

Collective Bargaining under Non-Binding Contracts

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Luttens, Roland Iwan - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011

We introduce collective bargaining in a static framework where the firm and its risk-neutral employees negotiate over wages in a non-binding contract setting. Our main result is the equivalence between the non-binding collective equilibrium wage-employment contract and the equilibrium contract...

Experimental Games on Networks: Underpinnings of Behavior and Equilibrium Selection

Charness, Gary; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014

In this paper, we describe a series of laboratory experiments that implement specific examples of a more general network structure and we examine equilibrium selection. Specifically, actions are either strategic substitutes or strategic complements, and participants have either complete or...
