In this paper we present an experiment on the false consensus effect. Unlike previous experiments, we provide monetary …

We study behavior in experimental beauty contests with, first, boundary and interior equilibria, and, second, homogeneous and heterogenous types of players. We find quicker and better convergence to the game-theoretic equilibrium with interior equilibria and homogeneous players. -- beauty...

Updating behavior in cascade experiments is usually investigated on the basis of urn prediction. But urn predictions alone can only provide a very rough information on individual updating behavior. Therefore, we implement a BDM mechanism. Subjects have to submit maximum prices that they are...

In this paper individual overconfidence within the context of an experimental asset market is investigated. Overall, 72 participants traded one risky asset on six markets of 12 participants each. The results indicate that individuals were not generally overconfident. Moreover, overconfidence was...

design an experiment to study whether such commodity transfers can be viewed as investments based on trust and reciprocity …, or whether they rather resemble presents with distributional intentions. Our experiment essentially modifies Berg et al ….’s investment game by introducing an upper bound to what a contributor can be repaid afterwards. By varying this upper bound …

Empirical studies in family economics usually rely on questionnaires, statistical or panel data. Here we try to study experimentally some crucial aspects of engaging in a marriage. First the female partner can end the relationship or suggest one of the two forms of joint venture. Whereas a full...

This book presents an up-to-date overview of the theory as well as the empirics of the relationship between investment …, the authors discuss both traditional investment models with uncertainty and the more modern option based models. They … present an overview of empirical results of the modelling of investment under uncertainty. In these examples, the effects of …

When people decide about saving and consumption across the various periods of their life time they take into account their life expectancy when comparing present and future needs and resources for satisfying them. The experimental design, applied at two sites (Humboldt-University at Berlin and...
