Kocher, Martin; Martinsson, Peter; Myrseth, Kristian Ove R. - 2013

We develop a model that relates self-control and conflict identification to cooperation patterns in social dilemmas. As predicted, we find in a laboratory public goods experiment a robust association between stronger self-control and higher levels of cooperation. This means that there is...

Contracts and Inequity aversion

Englmaier, Florian; Wambach, Achim - 2002

Using the concept of Inequity Aversion we derive in a Moral Hazard setting several results which differ from conventional contract theory. Our three key insights are: First, inequity aversion plays a crucial role in the design of optimal contracts. Second, there is a strong tendency towards...

Long-term employment relations when agents are present biased

Englmaier, Florian; Fahn, Matthias; Schwarz, Marco A. - 2016

We analyze how agents' present bias affects optimal contracting in an infinite-horizon employment setting. The principal maximizes profits by offering a menu of contracts to naive agents: a virtual contract - which agents plan to choose in the future - and a real contract which they end up...

Englmaier, Florian; Grimm, Stefan; Schindler, David; … - 2018

Despite the prevalence of non-routine analytical team tasks in modern economies, little is known about how incentives influence performance in these tasks. In a field experiment with more than 3000 participants, we document a positive effect of bonus incentives on the probability of completion...

Laboratory experiments are a widely used methodology for advancing causal knowledge in the physical and life sciences …. With the exception of psychology, the adoption of laboratory experiments has been much slower in the social sciences …, although during the last two decades, the use of lab experiments has accelerated. Nonetheless, there remains considerable …
