Alberti, Federica; Fischer, Sven; Güth, Werner; … - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
Concessions try to avoid conflict in bargaining and can finally lead to an agreement. Although they usually are seen as unfolding in time, concessions can also be studied in normal form or by conditioning only on failure of earlier agreement attempts. We experimentally compare three protocols of...
