Privately contributing to public goods over time : an experimental study

Güth, Werner; Levati, Maria Vittoria; Stiehler, Andreas - 2002

Similar to Levati and Neugebauer (2001), a clock is used by which participants can vary their individual contributions for voluntarily providing a public good. As time goes by, participants either in(de)crease their contribution gradually or keep it constant. Groups of two poorly and two richly...

Hotelling games with three, four, and more players

Brenner, Steffen - 2001

In this paper the standard Hotelling model with quadratic transport costs is extended to the multi-firm case. The sequential game consists of a location choice stage and a price setting stage. Considering locational equilibria it is shown that neither holds the Principle of Maximum...

Compensating the cooperators : is sorting in the prisoner’s dilemma possible?

Bohnet, Iris; Kübler, Dorothea - 2000

prisoner’s dilemma game in which the cost of unilateral cooperation is lower than in the status quo version separates … in the status quo PD whereas there is no difference between cooperation rates if the two versions of the game were … assigned to participants. However, sorting is incomplete and cooperation deteriorates over time. The auction price does not …

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 relevance of equal splits : on a behavioral discontinuity in ultimatum games

Güth, Werner; Huck, Steffen; Müller, Wieland - 1998

The findings on the ultimatum game are considered as belonging to the most robust experimental results. In this paper we present a slightly altered version of the mini ultimatum game of Bolton and Zwick (1995). Whereas in the latter exactly equal splits were feasible in our games these were...

Co-evolution of preferences and information in simple games of trust

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut; Peleg, Bezalel - 1998

In standard rational choice modelling decisions are made according to given information and preferences. In the model presented here the 'information technology' of individual decision makers as well as their preferences evolve in a dynamic process. In this process decisions are made rationally...

Simultaneous and sequential price competition in heterogeneous duopoly markets : experimental evidence

Kübler, Dorothea; Müller, Wieland - 2001

We investigate simultaneous and sequential price competition in duopoly markets with differentiated products. In both markets symmetric firms are repeatedly and randomly matched. The strategy method is used to elicit behavior in the sequential market. We find that average leader prices in the...
