Experience does not eliminate bubbles : experimental evidence
Kopányi-Peuker, Anita; Weber, Matthias - 2018
We study the role of experience in the formation of asset price bubbles. Therefore, we conduct two related experiments … participants receive. Each market is repeated three times. In both experiments and in all treatments, we observe sizable bubbles …. These bubbles do not disappear with experience. Our findings in the call market experiment stand in contrast to the …

Bubbles, crashes and information contagion in large-group asset market experiments
Hommes, Cars H.; Kopányi-Peuker, Anita; Sonnemans, Joep - 2019
". We observe both stable markets and large bubbles for both small and large markets. The data analysis shows no differences … successfully drives prices back towards the fundamental, but we observe very large bubbles in which the news apparently has no …

Why do oaths work? : image concerns and credibility in promise keeping
Kingsuwankul, Sorravich; Tergiman, Chloe; Villeval, … - 2023
We use a laboratory experiment to understand the channels through which honesty oaths can affect behavior and credibility. Using a game with asymmetric information in a financial market setting that captures some important features of advisor-investor interactions, we manipulate the common...

Bubble formation and (in)efficient markets in learning-to-forecast and -optimise experiments
Te, Bao; Hommes, Cars H.; Makarewicz, Tomasz - 2015
, recurring bubbles arise, where the price is 3 times larger than the fundamental value, which were not seen in former experiments. …

Coordination of expectations in asset pricing experiments
Hommes, Cars H.; Sonnemans, Joep; Tuinstra, Jan; … - 2003
We investigate expectation formation in a controlled experimental en-vironment. Subjects are asked to predict the price in a standard asset pricingmodel. They do not have knowledge of the underlying market equilibrium equa-tions, but they know all past realized prices and their own predictions....

Behaviorally rational expectations and almost self-fulfilling equilibria
Hommes, Cars H. - 2013
Rational expectations assumes perfect, model consistency between beliefs and market realizations. Here we discuss behaviorally rational expectations, characterized by an observable, parsimonious and intuitive form of consistency between beliefs and realizations. We discuss three case-studies....

Information and strategic voting
Tyszler, Marcelo; Schram, Arthur - 2011
We theoretically and experimentally study voter behavior in a setting characterized by plurality rule and mandatory voting, where voters choose from three options. We are interested in the occurrence of strategic voting in an environment where Condorcet cycles may occur. In particular, we focus...

Understanding contract audits : an experimental approach
Bertrand, Robert M. M.; Schram, Arthur; Vaassen, Eddy H. J. - 2011
Contract audits aimed at reducing information asymmetry and transaction costs are frequently used in imperfect markets such as defense procurement. This contradicts predictions from standard economic theory. We conduct a laboratory experiment to investigate this paradox. Our laboratory setup...

Cheap-talk communication in procurement auctions : theory and experiment
Onderstal, Sander; Yang, Yang - 2020
In procurement auctions, bidders are usually better informed about technical, financial, or legal aspects of the goods and services procured. Therefore, the buyer may include a dialogue in the procurement procedure which enables the suppliers to reveal information that will help the buyer to...
