Behavioural Responses to Unfair Institutions : Experimental Evidence on Rule Compliance, Norm Polarisation and Trust
Columbus, Simon; Kasper, Matthias; Feld, Lars P.; … - 2023
This study investigates the effects of unfair enforcement of institutional rules on public good contributions, personal and social norms, and trust. In a preregistered online experiment (n = 1,038), we find that biased institutions reduce rule compliance compared to fair institutions. However,...

Incentive magnitude effects in experimental games : bigger is not necessarily better
Pulford, Briony D.; Colman, Andrew M.; Loomes, Graham - In: Games 9 (2018) 1/4, pp. 1-10
In experimental games, task-related incentives are payments to experimental subjects that vary according to their strategy choices and the consequent outcomes of the games. Limited evidence exists regarding incentive magnitude effects in experimental games. We examined one-off strategy choices...

Incentives, Self-Selection, and Coordination of Motivated Agents for the Production of Social Goods
Bauer, Kevin; Kosfeld, Michael; von Siemens, Ferdinand - 2021
We study, theoretically and empirically, the effects of incentives on the self-selection and coordination of motivated agents to produce a social good. Agents join teams where they allocate effort to either generate individual monetary rewards (selfish effort) or contribute to the production of...

Moral entitlements and aspiration formation in asymmetric bargaining : experimental evidence from Germany and China
Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Walkowitz, Gari - In: Games 8 (2017) 4, pp. 1-25
Using a unique experimental data set, we investigate how asymmetric legal rights shape bargainers’ aspiration levels through moral entitlements derived from equity norms and number prominence. Aspiration formation is typically hard to observe in real life. Our study involves 15 negotiations...

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. …

Innovation strategies in a competitive dynamic setting
Lukach, Ruslan; Plasmans, Joseph; Kort, Peter M. - 2005
This paper presents a dynamic model of a competitive R&D and production duopoly subject to knowledge spillovers. Two asymmetric firms operate for a limited period of time and dispose their knowledge capital in the end. Both firms and the social planner prefer the R&Dcooperative strategy over the...

Cooperating, Fast and Slow: Testing the Social Heuristics Hypothesis.
Strømland, Eirik; Tjøtta, Sigve; Torsvik, Gaute - 2016
Are humans intuitively cooperative, or do we need to deliberate in order to be generous to others? The Social Heuristics Hypothesis (SHH) proposes that fast instinctive decision making promotes cooperation in social dilemmas. In this paper, we conduct a novel time-pressure experiment to shed...

Improving Human Deception Detection Using Algorithmic Feedback
Serra-Garcia, Marta; Gneezy, Uri - 2023
Can algorithms help people detect deception in high-stakes strategic interactions? Participants watching the pre-play communication of contestants in the TV show Golden Balls display a limited ability to predict contestants' behavior, while algorithms do significantly better. We provide...
