The effects of (incentivized) belief elicitation in public goods experiments

Gächter, Simon; Renner, Elke - 2010

Belief elicitation is an important methodological issue for experimental economists. There are two generic questions: 1) Do incentives increase belief accuracy? 2) Are there interaction effects of beliefs and decisions? We investigate these questions in the case of finitely repeated public goods...

The roles of incentives and voluntary cooperation for contractual compliance

Gächter, Simon; Kessler, Esther; Königstein, Manfred - 2011

Efficiency under contractual incompleteness often requires voluntary cooperation in situations where self-regarding incentives for contractual compliance are present as well. Here we provide a comprehensive experimental analysis based on the gift-exchange game of how explicit and implicit...

Confusion and learning in the voluntary contributions game

Bayer, Ralph-C.; Renner, Elke; Sausgruber, Rupert - 2012

We use a limited information environment to assess the role of confusion in the repeated voluntary contributions game. A comparison with play in a standard version of the game suggests, that the common claim that decision errors due to confused subjects biases estimates of cooperation upwards,...

On the elicitation and measurement of betrayal aversion

Quercia, Simone - 2015

Betrayal aversion has been operationalized as the evidence that subjects demand a higher risk premium to take social risks compared to natural risks. This evidence has been first shown by Bohnet and Zeckhauser (2004) using an adaptation of the Becker-DeGroot-Marshak mechanism (BDM, Becker et al....

Talking behind your back : asymmetric communication in a three-person dilemma

Abbink, Klaus; Dong, Lu; Huang, Lingbo - 2018

Communication has been regarded as one of the most effective devices in promoting team cooperation. But asymmetric communication sometimes breeds collusion and is detrimental to team efficiency. Here, we present experimental evidence showing that excluding one member from team communication...

Conducting interactive experiments online

Arechar, Antonio A.; Gächter, Simon; Molleman, Lucas - 2017

. To this end, we conduct a repeated public goods experiment with and without punishment using samples from the laboratory … and the online platform Amazon Mechanical Turk. We chose to replicate this experiment because it is long and logistically … reducing dropout and show that, for our case study, dropouts are exogenous to the experiment. We conclude that data quality for …

Incentive contracts crowd out voluntary cooperation : evidence from gift-exchange experiments

Gächter, Simon; Kaiser, Esther; Königstein, Manfred - 2024

Explicit and implicit incentives and opportunities for mutually beneficial voluntary cooperation co-exist in many contractual relationships. In a series of eight laboratory gift-exchange experiments, we show that incentive contracts can lead to crowding out of voluntary cooperation even after...

Abbink, Klaus (contributor); Brandts, Jordi (contributor) - 2003 - [Elektronische Ressource], rev

Bertrand competition under decreasing returns involves a wide interval of pure strategy equilibrium prices. We first present results of experiments in which two, three and four identical firms repeatedly interact in this environment. Less collusion with more firms leads to lower average prices....
