The intuition of punishment : a study of fairness preferences and cognitive ability

Seier, Markus - In: Games 11 (2020) 2/21, pp. 1-25

Can differences in cognitive reflection explain other-regarding behavior? To test this, I use the three-item Cognitive Reflection Task to classify individuals as intuitive or reflective and correlate this measure with choices in three games that each subject participates in. The main sample...

Gender differences in the response to decision power and responsibility : framing effects in a dictator game

Bruttel, Lisa Verena; Stolley, Florian - In: Games 9 (2018) 2/28, pp. 1-16

This paper studies the effects of two different frames on decisions in a dictator game. Before making their allocation decision, dictators read a short text. Depending on the treatment, the text either emphasizes their decision power and freedom of choice or it stresses their responsibility for...

Evidential equilibria : heuristics and biases in static games of complete information

Al-Nowaihi, Ali; Dhami, Sanjit S. - In: Games 6 (2015) 4, pp. 637-676

Standard equilibrium concepts in game theory find it difficult to explain the empirical evidence from a large number of static games, including the prisoner's dilemma game, the hawk-dove game, voting games, public goods games and oligopoly games. Under uncertainty about what others will do in...

Playing a game or making a decision? : methodological issues in the measurement of distributional preferences

Greiff, Matthias; Ackermann, Kurt A.; Murphy, Ryan O. - In: Games 9 (2018) 4/80, pp. 1-25

In terms of role assignment and informational characteristics, different contexts have been used when measuring distributional preferences. This could be problematic as contextual variance may inadvertently muddle the measurement process. We use a within-subjects design and systemically vary...

Behavioural isomorphism, cognitive economy and recursive thought in non-transitive game strategy

Dyson, Benjamin J. - In: Games 10 (2019) 3/32, pp. 1-14

Game spaces in which an organism must repeatedly compete with an opponent for mutually exclusive outcomes are critical methodologies for understanding decision-making under pressure. In the non-transitive game rock, paper, scissors (RPS), the only technique that guarantees the lack of...

Does informational equivalence preserve strategic behavior? : experimental results on Trockel’s model of Selten’s chain store story

Duman, Papatya - In: Games 11 (2020) 1/9, pp. 1-24

The purpose of this study is to experimentally test Trockel's game, which is a modelling of the classical Chain Store Game (CSG), and determine whether one of the two theories of Equality and Deterrence may better account for the observed behavior. The CSG is an example of a simple game in...

Learning (not) to evade taxes

Prinz, Aloys - In: Games 10 (2019) 4/38, pp. 1-18

In this paper, lab experiments on tax compliance were theoretically investigated with dynamic and stochastic methods …, it has not been explicitly applied so far in the theoretical analysis of tax compliance experiments. In this paper, it … considered experiment. This negative trend was interpreted as a learning effect, in accordance with the stochastic version of the …

(Un)bounded rationality in decision making and game theory : back to square one?

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - In: Games 1 (2010) 1, pp. 53-65

Game and decision theory start from rather strong premises. Preferences, represented by utilities, beliefs represented by probabilities, common knowledge and symmetric rationality as background assumptions are treated as “given.” A richer language enabling us to capture the process leading...

Games over probability distributions revisited : new equilibrium models and refinements

Rass, Stefan; König, Sandra; Schauer, Stefan - In: Games 13 (2022) 6, pp. 1-26

This article is an overview of recent progress on a theory of games, whose payoffs are probability distributions rather than real numbers, and which have their equilibria defined and computed over a (suitably restricted yet dense) set of distributions. While the classical method of defining game...
