Imitation and the Evolution of Walrasian Behavior : Theoretically Fragile but Behaviorally Robust
Apesteguia, Jose - 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...

van der Weele, Joel J. - 2014
Self-signaling theory argues that individuals partly behave prosocially to create or uphold a favorable self-image. To study self-signaling theory, we investigate whether increasing self-image concerns affects charitable giving. In our experiment subjects divide 20 euros between themselves and a...

Emotion at Stake : The Role of Stake Size and Emotions in a Power-To-Take Game Experiment in China with a Comparison to Europe
Bosman, Ronald - 2016
This paper experimentally investigates how monetary incentives and emotions influence behaviour in a two-player power-to-take game. In this game, one player can claim any part of the other's endowment (take rate), and the second player can respond by destroying his or her own endowment. We focus...
