Dissertation abstract: Three essays on the determinants of behavior in the commons-experimental evidence from fishing communities in Colombia
Vélez, María - In: Experimental Economics 10 (2007) 2, pp. 183-184
This dissertation presents the results of a series of common pool experiments conducted in three regions of rural … conservative choices in common pool experiments. Groups of five subjects participated in a 20-period common pool resource game … resource game and then 10 additional rounds under one of five institutions: face-to-face communication, one of two external …

Information exchange in laboratory markets: competition, transfer costs, and the emergence of reputation
Hoffmann, Roman; Kittel, Bernhard; Larsen, Mattias - In: Experimental Economics 24 (2020) 1, pp. 118-142
Public reputation mechanisms are an effective means to limit opportunistic behavior in markets suffering from moral hazard problems. While previous research was mostly concerned with the influence of exogenous feedback mechanisms, this study considers the endogenous emergence of reputation...

Obviousness around the clock
Breitmoser, Yves; Schweighofer-Kodritsch, Sebastian - In: Experimental Economics 25 (2021) 2, pp. 483-513
Li (Am Econ Rev 107(11):3257–3287, 2017) introduces a theoretical notion of obviousness of a dominant strategy, to be used as a refinement in mechanism design. This notion is supported by experimental evidence that bidding is closer to dominance in the dynamic ascending-clock auction than the...

The dark side of friendship: ‘envy’
Cobo-Reyes, Ramón; Jiménez, Natalia - In: Experimental Economics 15 (2012) 4, pp. 547-570
This paper studies the effect of social relations on convergence to the efficient equilibrium in 2×2 coordination games from an experimental perspective. We employ a 2×2 factorial design in which we explore two different games with asymmetric payoffs and two matching protocols: “friends”...

Circadian effects on strategic reasoning
Dickinson, David; McElroy, Todd - In: Experimental Economics 15 (2012) 3, pp. 444-459
The ability to strategically reason is important in many competitive environments. In this paper, we examine how relatively mild temporal variations in cognition affect reasoning in the Beauty Contest. The source of temporal cognition variation that we explore is the time-of-day that decisions...

Equity vs. efficiency vs. self-interest: on the use of dictator games to measure distributional preferences
Jakiela, Pamela - In: Experimental Economics 16 (2013) 2, pp. 208-221
We conduct modified dictator games in which price of giving varies across choice situations, and examine responses to price changes in two contexts—one where dictators divide their own earnings, and another where they divide the earnings of others. Varying the price of giving allows us to...

The evolution of sanctioning institutions: an experimental approach to the social contract
Zhang, Boyu; Li, Cong; Silva, Hannelore; Bednarik, Peter; … - In: Experimental Economics 17 (2014) 2, pp. 285-303
A vast amount of empirical and theoretical research on public good games indicates that the threat of punishment can curb free-riding in human groups engaged in joint enterprises. Since punishment is often costly, however, this raises an issue of second-order free-riding: indeed, the sanctioning...

The role of information in different bargaining protocols
Hortala-Vallve, Rafael; Llorente-Saguer, Aniol; Nagel, … - In: Experimental Economics 16 (2013) 1, pp. 88-113
We analyze a bargaining protocol recently proposed in the literature vis-à-vis unconstrained negotiation. This new mechanism extracts “gains from trade” inherent in the differing valuation of two parties towards various issues where conflict exists. We assess the role of incomplete vs....
