A nation-wide laboratory : examining trust and trustworthiness by integrating behavioral experiments into representative survey

Fehr, Ernst; Fischbacher, Urs; Rosenbladt, Bernhard von; … - 2003

Typically, laboratory experiments suffer from homogeneous subject pools and selfselection biases. The usefulness of … method integrating interactive experiments and representative surveys thereby overcoming crucial weaknesses of both … approaches. One of the major advantages of our approach is that it allows for the integration of experiments, which require …

Playing with the good guys : a public good game with endogenous group formation

Brekke, Kjell Arne; Hauge, Karen Evelyn; Lind, Jo Thori; … - 2009

In public good games, voluntary contributions tend to start off high and decline as the game is repeated. If high contributors are matched, however, contributions tend to stay high. We propose a formalization predicting that high contributors will self-select into groups committed to charitable...

Johnsen, Åshild A.; Kvaløy, Ola - 2014

In repeated games, it is hard to distinguish true prosocial behavior from strategic instrumental behavior. In particular, a player does not know whether a reciprocal action is intrinsically or instrumentally motivated. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the relationship between...

Cross-game learning and cognitive ability in auctions

Giebe, Thomas; Ivanova-Stenzel, Radosveta; Kocher, Martin; … - 2021

Overbidding in second-price auctions (SPAs) has been shown to be persistent and associated with cognitive ability. We study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills. Employing an order-balanced design, we use...
