Experimental "beauty contests" with homogeneous and heterogeneous players and with interior and boundary equilibria
Güth, Werner; Kocher, Martin; Sutter, Matthias - 2001
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...

The local power of some unit root tests for panel data
Breitung, Jörg - 1999

Such corrections are necessary to account for the … affected by two different terms. The first term represents the asymptotic effect on the bias due the detrending method and the …

Measurement error, biases, and the validation of complex models
Carroll, Raymond J.; Galindo, Christian D. - 1997
There are three major points to this article: 1. Measurement error causes biases in regression fits. The line one would obtain if one could accurately measure exposure to environmental lead media will differ in important ways when one measures exposure with error. 2. The effects of measurement...

A class of Health-Jarrow-Morton models in which the unbiased expectations hypothesis holds
Riedel, Frank - 1997
The unbiased expectations hypothesis states that forward rates are unbiased estimates for future short rates. Cox, Ingersoll and Ross [1] conjectured that this hypothesis should be inconsistent with the absence of arbitrage possibilities. Using the framework of Heath, Jarrow and Morton [4] we...

Framing effects on asset markets : an experimental analysis
Kirchler, Erich; Maciejovsky, Boris; Weber, Martin - 2001
In this paper we investigate four hypotheses which are inconsistent with expected utility theory, but may well be … explained by prospect theory. It deals with framing, the non-linearity of subjective probabilities, the disposition effect, and …) found little correspondence between different experimental risk elicitation methods. -- Prospect Theory ; Framing …

The influence of inventory effects and reference points on the rate of consumption
Bell, David R.; Boztuğ, Yasemin - 2001 - Rev.
The authors develop and test a model to study the influence of inventory-on-hand and price-based reference points on the consumption rate of consumers. The model is motivated by recent theoretical and empirical research which suggests inventory pressure can cause consumers to increase...

Arrow-Debreu equilibria with asymptotically heterogeneous expectations exist
Riedel, Frank - 2001
In infinite horizon economies only local equivalence of beliefs is needed to ensure the existence of an Arrow-Debreu equilibrium. In fact, agents can even disagree completely in the long run in the sense that asymptotically, their beliefs are singular. -- Heterogeneous expectations ;...

A psychological approach to individual differences in intertemporal consumption patterns
Brandstätter, Hermann; Güth, Werner - 1998
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...

Presents or investments? : an experimental analysis
Genîzî, Ûrî; Güth, Werner; Verboven, Frank - 1998

How accurate do markets predict the outcome of an event? : the Euro 2000 soccer championships experiment
Schmidt, Carsten; Werwatz, Axel - 2002 - Rev.
For the Euro 2000 Soccer Championships an experimental asset market was condueted, with traders buying and selling contracts on the winners of individual matches. Market-generated probabilities are compared to professional bet quotas, and factors that are responsible for the quality of the...
