Platform selection in the lab
Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Helland, Leif - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 99 (2014) C, pp. 168-177
Emerging literature explores experimental platform selection games. These games converge rapidly on the superior platform under a wide range of conditions. We replicate the remarkable results of Hossain and Morgan (2009) in which such a game tips almost perfectly to the superior platform. Next,...

Quality competition with profit constraints
Brekke, Kurt R.; Siciliani, Luigi; Straume, Odd Rune - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 84 (2012) 2, pp. 642-659
Firms in markets such as health care and education are often profit constrained due to regulation or their non-profit status, and they are often viewed as being altruistic towards consumers. We use a spatial competition framework to study incentives for cost containment and quality provision by...

Market structure and strategic bi-sourcing
Beladi, Hamid; Mukherjee, Arijit - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 82 (2012) 1, pp. 210-219
We provide a new rationale for bi-sourcing, which refers to the situation where a final goods producer buys an input from an outside supplier and also produces it in-house. We also show the effects of the product market competition and the implications of different and common outside input...

Credible communication and cooperation: Experimental evidence from multi-stage Games
Andersson, Ola; Wengström, Erik - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 81 (2012) 1, pp. 207-219
It is well known that communication often serves as a facilitator for cooperation in static games. Yet, communication … can serve entirely different purposes in dynamic settings as communication during the game may work as a means for … investigates cooperation and non-binding communication in a two-stage game.

Disadvantageous lies in individual decisions
Utikal, Verena; Fischbacher, Urs - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 85 (2013) C, pp. 108-111
We present experimental evidence on the existence of lies which are disadvantageous to the person lying in individual decision problems. Potential reasons for this behavior are preferences for manipulating others’ perceptions or preserving a positive self-perception. If the utility gained from...
