An experimental study on the effects of communication, credibility, and clustering in network games

Charness, Gary; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, … - 2019

networks, such coordination may be very difficult to achieve and may depend on the communication technology and the network … structure. We examine how pre-play communication and clustering within networks affect coordination in a challenging … experimental game on eight-person networks. Free-form chat is enormously effective in achieving the nonequilibrium efficient …

Which households respond to electricity peak pricing amid high levels of electrification?

Garnache, Cloé; Hernæs, Øystein; Imenes, Anders Gravir - 2022

We examine heterogeneity in Norwegian households' price responses to critical peak pricing (CPP) on electricity consumption, using a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), high-frequency electricity data, and default enrollment. Increasing the grid transmission charge by 4,067%...

Estimation of productivity in Korean electric power plants : a semiparametric smooth coefficient model

Heshmati, Almas; Kumbhakar, Subal; Sun, Kai - 2013

This paper analyzes the impact of load factor, facility and generator types on the productivity of Korean electric power plants. In order to capture important differences in the effect of load policy on power output, we use a semiparametric smooth coefficient (SPSC) model that allows us to model...

Selfish altruism, fierce cooperation and the emergence of cooperative equilibria from passing and shooting

Askitas, Nikos - 2014

There is continuing debate about what explains cooperation and self-sacrifice in nature and in particular in humans. This paper suggests a new way to think about this famous problem. I argue that, for an evolutionary biologist as well as a quantitative social scientist, the triangle of two...

Self-serving use of equity rules in bargaining with asymmetric outside options

Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Rilke, Rainer … - 2013

We experimentally investigate multiple notions of equity in ultimatum bargaining with asymmetric outside options. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978), we derive three different equity rules that can explain 43% of all offers. Our within-subject design further...

Conducting interactive experiments online

Arechar, Antonio A.; Gächter, Simon; Molleman, Lucas - 2017

Online labor markets provide new opportunities for behavioral research, but conducting economic experiments online raises important methodological challenges. This particularly holds for interactive designs. In this paper, we provide a methodological discussion of the similarities and...

Pledging, praising and shaming : experimental labour markets in Ghana

Davies, Elwyn; Fafchamps, Marcel - 2017

Firm surveys have shown that labour management in developing countries is often problematic. Earlier experimental research (Davies & Fafchamps, 2017) has shown that managers in Ghana are reluctant to use monetary incentives to motivate workers. This paper presents the results from a...
