For Love or Reward? Characterising Preferences for Giving to Parents in an Experimental Setting

Porter, Maria - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2014

This paper examines the motivation for intergenerational transfers between adult children and their parents, and the nature of preferences for such giving behaviour, in an experimental setting. Participants in our experiment play a series of dictator games with parents and strangers, in which...

You Are Not in My Boat: Common Fate and Similarity Attractors in Bargaining Settings

Zizzo, Daniel John - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2003

Sharing a common fate with some people but not others may affect how economic agents behave within firms and organizations. Recognizing that many bilateral transactions occur both within and between groups sharing some degree of common fate, we present an experimental test of the effect of...

Modelling Transactions with Ultimatum Games: An Experiment on Certification

Guerra, Gerardo A. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2002

Ultimatum games have been extensively used in experimental studies. By studying the consequences that restrictions shared by ultimatum games have in subject`s behaviour, this paper argues that some results are falsified by design constraints. This paper also presets a taxonomy of certification,...

Wages and Reciprocity in the Workplace

Barr, Abigail; Serneels, Pieter - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2004

We explore the role of reciprocity in wage determination by combining experimental and survey data. The experiment is … reciprocity and individual wages. However, the direction of causality is unclear. Various aspects of the distribution of the … reciprocity have a positive effect on wages, while the spread in the distribution (standard deviation) has a strong significant …

Dynamic Matching and Bargaining: The Role of Deadlines

Vulkan, Nir; Hurkens, Sjaak - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2006

We consider a dynamic model where traders in each period are matched randomly into pairs who then bargain about the division of a fixed surplus. When agreement is reached the traders leave the market. Traders who do not come to an agreement return next period in which they will be matched again,...

Competition in Posted Prices With Stochastic Discounts

Gill, David; Thanassoulis, John - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2013

We study price competition between firms over public list or posted prices when a fraction of consumers (termed 'bargainers') can subsequently receive discounts with some probability. Such stochastic discounts are a feature of markets in which some consumers bargain explicitly; of markets in...

Evolutionary dynamics and equitable core selection in assignment games

Nax, Heinrich H.; Pradelski, Bary S.R. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2012

We study evolutionary dynamics in assignment games where many agents interact anonymously at virtually no cost. The process is decentralized, very little information is available and trade takes place at many different prices simultaneously. We propose a completely uncoupled learning process...

Evolutionary Dynamics and Fast Convergence in the Assignment Game

Pradelski, Bary S.R. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2014

We study decentralized learning dynamics for the classic assignment game with transferable utility. At random points in time firms and workers match, break up, and re-match in the sesarch for better opportunities. We propose a simple learning process in which players have no knowledge about...

Stable partitions for games with non-transferable utilities and externalities

Karos, Dominik - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2015

We provide a model of coalitional bargaining with claims in order to solve games with non-transferable utilities and externalities. We show that, for each such game, payoff configurations exist which will not be renegoiated. In the original game derived from these payoff configurations, we...
