Compulsory Disclosure of Private Information Theoretical and Experimental Results for the "Acquiring-a-Company" Game
Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, Manfred; Zaby, … - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
Based on the "acquiring-a-company" game of Samuelson and Bazerman (1985), we theoretically and experimentally analyze the acquisition of a firm. Thereby we compare cases of symmetrically and asymmetrically informed buyers and sell- ers. This setting allows us to predict and test the effects of...

On the Context-Dependency of Inequality Aversion - Experimental Evidence and a Stylized Model -
Bäker, Agnes; Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, … - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
We consider three-person envy games with a proposer, a responder, and a dummy player. In this class of games, the proposer, rather than allocating a constant pie, chooses the pie size which the responder can then accept or reject while the dummy player can only refuse his own share. While the...

How do Incentives affect Creativity?
Eckartz, Katharina; Kirchkamp, Oliver; Schunk, Daniel - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
We compare performance in a word based creativity task under three incentive schemes: a flat fee, a linear payment and a tournament. Furthermore, we also compare performance under two control tasks (Raven's advanced progressive matrices or a number-adding task) with the same treatments. In all...

Inconsistent Incomplete Information: A Betting Experiment
Güth, Werner; Erviti, Loreto Llorente; Ziegelmeyer, Anthony - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
We study two person-betting games with inconsistent commonly know beliefs, using an experimental approach. In our experimental games, participants bet against one another, each bettor choosing one of two possible outcomes, and payoff odds are know at the time bets are placed. Bettors' beliefs...

Hidden Costs of Control: Three Repetitions and an Extension
Ploner, Matteo; Schmelz, Katrin; Ziegelmeyer, Anthony - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
We report three repetitions of Falk and Kosfeld's (2006) low and medium control treatments with 364 subjects. Each repetition employs a sample drawn from a standard subject pool of students and demographics vary across samples. Our results largely conflict with those of the original study. We...
