The bargaining model with stochastic order of proposing players is properly embedded in continuous time and it is … the Nash bargaining solution of a modified bargaining problem and the Maximum Theorem implies convergence to the Nash … bargaining solution when time between proposals vanishes. The model unifies alternating offers, one-sided offers and random …

This paper argues that the notion of focal points is important in understanding bargaining processes. Recent literature … confines a discussion of the usefulness of the notion to coordination problems and when bargaining experiments result in … equal split division and it re-interprets recent experimental evidence in bargaining games. Experimental economists should …

In this paper, we examine the role of intertemporal and social preferences in explaining cooperation in social dilemmas. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic caused an acute social dilemma in the Netherlands. In this dilemma, citizens had to decide whether or not to comply with the personal measures...

This paper provides experimental evidence showing that indirectreciprocity may important in economic decision making and in thedevelopment of group norms. We study a `repeated helping game' withrandom pairing in large groups, with individuals equally dividedbetween donors and recipients. Donors...

We study committees that acquire information, deliberate and vote. A member cares about state-dependent decision payoffs and about his reputation for expertise. The state remains unobserved, even after the decision has been taken. In such inconclusive environments, in equilibrium, a member's...

Theory predicts that committees of experts may take decisions that look good but are bad and that they show a united front to impress evaluators. Although evaluators see through this behavior, committees persist in it only to avoid worse assessments. We investigate this theory in the lab, using...

We study a giver's generosity depending on her relationship with the recipient and the observer. We assign different group identities to the players using a variation of the minimumgroup paradigm, and test the effect of group memberships on altruistic giving in the dictator game with a passive...
