Can Corruption Be Studied in the Lab? Comparing a Field and a Lab Experiment

Armantier, Olivier; Boly, Amadou - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2008

This paper makes an attempt at testing the external validity of corruption experiments by moving from the lab in a … environments the probability to accept the bribe. Finally, we identify several micro-determinants of corruption (age, religiousness …, ability). Le présent article essaie de tester la validité externe des expériences sur la corruption en quittant le laboratoire …

Social Exchange and Risk and Ambiguity Preferences

Engle, John; Engle-Warnick, Jim; Laszlo, Sonia - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2011

We present an experiment in which we test for the effect of participating in a social exchange exercise on revealed risk and ambiguity preferences. In our experiments, subjects make choices over lotteries that reveal their risk and ambiguity preferences. They then participate with a small group...

Competitive Insurance Markets and Adverse Selection in the Lab

Riahi, Dorra; Lévy-Garboua, Louis; Montmarquette, Claude - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2010

We provide an experimental analysis of competitive insurance markets with adverse selection. Our parameterized version of the lemons' model (Akerlof 1970) in the insurance context predicts total crowding out of low-risks when insurers offer a single full insurance contract. The therapy proposed...

Keep it Down: An Experimental Test of the Truncated Uniform Price Auction

Doyon, Maurice; Rondeau, Daniel; Mbala, Richard - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2009

The introduction of a centralized institution for trading production rights in quota-regulated agricultural sectors can dramatically improve the flow of information among market pareticipants and increase efficiency. On the other hand, prevailing conditions in these small markets can provide...

Learning-by-Doing in an Ambiguous Environment

Engle-Warnick, Jim; Laszlo, Sonia - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2006

We experimentally test whether risk aversion or ambiguity aversion can explain decisions in a learning-by-doing game. We first measure subjects' preferences toward risk and ambiguity, and then use these measures to predict behavior in the game. We find that ambiguity averse subjects pay more...

Strategically Planned Behavior in Public Good Experiments

Keser, Claudia - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2000

Subjects submitted strategies for playing a public good game. The strategies interacted with each other in a computer simulation. They could be revised and resubmitted for a second and a third simulation round. The strategies' average contribution to the public good increased from one simulation...

Aspiration Levels and Educational Choices<br>An experimental study

Page, Lionel; Lévy-Garboua, Louis; Montmarquette, Claude - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2006

The explanation of social inequalities in education is still a debated issue in economics. Recent empirical studies tend to downplay the potential role of credit constraint. This article tests a different potential explanation of social inequalities in education, specifically that social...

Budget Processes: Theory and Experimental Evidence

Ehrhart, Karl-Martin; Gardner, Roy; Hagen, Jürgen von; … - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 1999

This paper studies budget processes, both theoretically and experimentally. We give a sufficient condition for top-down and bottom-up budget processes to have the same voting equilibrium. Furthermore, at a voting equilibrium, it is not always true, as often presumed, that a top-down budget...
