Numerous gift exchange experiments have found a positive relationship between employers' wage offers and workers …' effort levels. In (almost) all these experiments the employer both owns and controls the firm. Yet in reality many firms are …

We examine an experimental gift exchange game in which the players can improve upon theunique no-gifts equilibrium through cooperative gift giving. The main feature of the study is thatthere are two different types of gift exchange, which we call simple and complex exchange,respectively. Complex...

We experimentally study the strategic transmission of information in a setting where both cheap talk and money can be used for communication purposes. Theoretically a large number of equilibria exist side by side, in which senders either use costless messages, money, or a combination of the two....
