Fairness and transparency in one-to-many bargaining with complementarity : an experimental study

Mak, Vincent; Zwick, Rami - In: Games 15 (2024) 4, pp. 1-29

complementarity and how it is influenced by fairness concern and information transparency. We base our setup on a structured … value of the deal approximately half-half with the buyer as a normative fairness benchmark. The buyers, on the other hand …, did not have a demand for fairness that was based on a fairness benchmark. …

Conditional Cooperation and Betrayal Aversion

Cubitt, Robin P.; Gaechter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015

We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

An experimental investigation of colonel blotto games

Chowdhury, Subhasish M.; Kovenock, Dan; Sheremeta, Roman M. - 2009

This article examines behavior in the two-player, constant-sum Colonel Blotto game with asymmetric resources in which players maximize the expected number of battlefields won. The experimental results support all major theoretical predictions. In the auction treatment, where winning a...

Imitation and the evolution of Walrasian behavior: theoretically fragile but behaviorally robust

Apesteguia, José; Huck, Steffen; Oechssler, Jörg; … - 2008

A well-known result by Vega-Redondo (1997) implies that in symmetric Cournot oligopoly, imitation leads to the Walrasian outcome where price equals marginal cost. In this paper, we show that this result is not robust to the slightest asymmetry in fixed costs. Instead of obtaining the Walrasian...

Social preferences, beliefs, and the dynamics of free riding in public good experiments

Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - 2008

We provide a test of the role of social preferences and beliefs in voluntary cooperation and its decline. We elicit individuals' cooperation preferences in one experiment and use them as well as subjects' elicited beliefs to explain contributions to a public good played repeatedly. We find...

The attack and defense of weakest-link networks

Kovenock, Dan; Roberson, Brian; Sheremeta, Roman M. - 2010

This paper experimentally examines behavior in a two-player game of attack and defense of a weakest-link network of targets, in which the attacker's objective is to successfully attack at least one target and the defender's objective is diametrically opposed. We apply two benchmark contest...

The impact of the irrelevant: Temporary buy-options and bidding behavior in auctions

Peeters, Ronald; Strobel, Martin; Vermeulen, Dries; … - In: Games 7 (2016) 1, pp. 1-19

With a laboratory experiment, we study the impact of buy-options and the corresponding buy-price on revenues and bidding behavior in (online) proxy-auctions with independent private valuations. We show that temporary buy-options may reduce revenues for two reasons: At low buy-prices, the...

Group polarization in the team dictator game reconsidered

Luhan, Wolfgang J.; Kocher, Martin; Sutter, Matthias - 2006 - This version: 8 August 2006

While most papers_new on team decision-making find teams to behave more selfish, less trusting and less altruistic than individuals, Cason and Mui (1997) report that teams are more altruistic than individuals in a dictator game. Using a within-subjects design we re-examine group polarization by...

Social comparison and risky choices

Linde, Jona; Sonnemans, Joep - 2009

This study attempts to combine two traditional fields in microeconomics: individual decision making under risk and decision making in an interpersonal context. The influence of social comparison on risky choices is explored in an experiment in which participants make a series of choices between...
