Sutter, Matthias; Bosman, Ronald; Kocher, Martin; van … - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2003
We study the influence of gender on economic decision making in a two-person bargaining game. By testing hypotheses derived from evolutionary psychology and social role theory, we find that (1) gender per se has no significant effect on behavior, whereas (2) gender pairing systematically affects...

Time is money - Time pressure, incentives, and the quality of decision-making
Kocher, Martin; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2004
Many decisions in economics and finance have to be made under severe time pressure. Furthermore, payoffs frequently depend on the speed of decision-making, like, for instance, when buying and selling stocks. In this paper, we examine the influence of time pressure and time-dependent incentive...

The Decision Maker Matters: Individual versus Group Behaviour in Experimental Beauty-Contest Games
Kocher, Martin G.; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2004
