The Hidden Costs of Control:An Unsuccessful Replication Study

Ploner, Matteo; Ziegelmeyer, Anthony - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2007

This note reports a replication study of Falk and Kosfeld’s (2006) medium control treatment.In the experimental game, an agent has an endowment of 120 experimental currency units anddecides how much to transfer to a principal. For every unit that the agent gives up, the principalreceives two...

Are preferences incomplete?An experimental study using flexible choices

Danan, Eric; Ziegelmeyer, Anthony - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2004

Completeness, the most commonly assumed axiom in preference theory,has not received much attention from the experimental literature. Indeed,incomplete preferences model a cognitive phenomenon (an agent's inabilityto compare alternatives), and therefore cannot be directly revealed throughchoice...
