Individual versus group behavior and the role of the decision making procedure in gift-exchange experiments

Kocher, Martin G.; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

We test for behavioral differences between groups and individuals in gift-exchange experiments. Related studies establish group behavior as typically closer to the game-theoretic equilibrium. We show that this result may depend crucially on the decision making procedure within groups. A novel...

Social identity and trust - An experimental investigation

Güth, Werner; Levati, M. Vittoria; Ploner, Matteo - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - 2007

We experimentally examine how group identity affects trust behavior in an investment game. In one treatment, group identity is induced purely by minimal groups. In other treatments, group members are additionally related by outcome interdependence established in a prior public goods game. Moving...

Information Aggregation and Beliefs in Experimental Parimutuel Betting Markets

Koessler, Frédéric; Noussair, Charles; Ziegelmeyer, … - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - 2007

We study sequential parimutuel betting markets with asymmetrically informed bettors, using an experimental approach. In one treatment, groups of eight participants play twenty repetitions of a sequential betting game. The second treatment is identical, except that bettors are observed by other...

Individual or team decision-making - Causes and consequences of self-selection

Kocher, Martin; Strauß, Sabine; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - 2004

Even though decision-making in small teams is pervasive in business and in private life, little is known about subjects' preferences with respect to individual and team decision-making and about the consequences of respecting these preferences. We report the results from an experimental...

Trust in cooperation or ability? – An experimental study on gender differences

Schwieren, Christiane; Sutter, Matthias - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - 2003

We examine experimentally two different types of trust: trust in another party’s cooperation and trust in ability. In the cooperation condition, player A sends x ? {0, X} to player B. The amount x is multiplied by c = 3, and B can return y ? {0,3x}. In the ability condition, c depends on B’s...
