Guilfoos, Todd; Pape, Andreas D. - In: Games 11 (2020) 3/38, pp. 1-25

We propose a framework in order to econometrically estimate case-based learning and apply it to empirical data from … twelve 2 × 2 mixed strategy equilibria experiments. Case-based learning allows agents to explicitly incorporate information …-based learning to other learning models (reinforcement learning and self-tuned experience weighted attraction learning) while using …

The role of the decision-making regime on cooperation in a workgroup social dilemma : an examination of cyberloafing

Corgnet, Brice; Hernán González, Roberto; McCarter, … - In: Games 6 (2015) 4, pp. 588-603

A burgeoning problem facing organizations is the loss of workgroup productivity due to cyberloafing. The current paper examines how changes in the decision-making rights about what workgroup members can do on the job affect cyberloafing and subsequent work productivity. We compare two different...

The Condorcet Jury Theorem with information acquisition

Chen, Jun - In: Games 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1-33

We analyze a committee decision in which individuals with common preferences are uncertain which of two alternatives is better for them. Members can acquire costly information. Private signals and information choice are both continuous. As is consistent with Down's rational ignorance hypothesis,...

Weighted scoring committees

Mayer, Alexander; Napel, Stefan - In: Games 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1-17

Weighted committees allow shareholders, party leaders, etc. to wield different numbers of votes or voting weights as they decide between multiple candidates by a given social choice method. We consider committees that apply scoring methods such as plurality, Borda, or antiplurality rule. Many...

Voting in three-alternative committees : an experiment

Goertz, Johanna M. M.; Chernomaz, Kirill - In: Games 10 (2019) 2/20, pp. 1-23

We design an experiment to test how voters vote in a small committee election with three alternatives. Voters have common preferences that depend on an unknown state of nature. Each voter receives an imprecise private signal prior to the election and then casts a vote. The alternative with the...

Reacting to unfairness : group identity and dishonest behavior

Della Valle, Nives; Ploner, Matteo - In: Games 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1-19

We experimentally investigate whether individuals are more likely to engage in dishonest behavior after having experienced unfairness perpetrated by an individual with a salient group identity. Two individuals generate an endowment together, but only one can decide how to share it. They either...

Decisions on extending group membership : evidence from a public good experiment

Grund, Christian; Harbring, Christine; Thommes, Kirsten; … - In: Games 11 (2020) 4/61, pp. 1-27

We experimentally compare the consequences for group cooperation of two decision mechanisms involving the extension of group membership. We analyze an exogenous decision (random draw) and an endogenous decision (made by a particular group member) mechanism to extend a temporary agent's group...

Teams do inflict costly third-party punishment as individuals do : experimental evidence

Kamei, Kenju - In: Games 12 (2021) 1/22, pp. 1-11

Initiated by the seminal work of Fehr and Fischbacher (Evolution and Human Behavior (2004)), a large body of research has shown that people often take punitive actions towards norm violators even when they are not directly involved in transactions. This paper shows in an experimental setting...

Risk-averse and self-interested shifts in groups in both median and random rules

Kamijo, Yoshio; Tamura, Teruyuki - In: Games 14 (2023) 1, pp. 1-21

The purpose of this study was to determine whether attitudes toward risk and altruism are affected by being in a group or being alone. In contrast to previous economic research on group decision-making, we excluded the effects of group informal discussions, which are thought to be a "black box"...

Public information : relevance or salience?

Invernizzi, Giovanna M. - In: Games 11 (2020) 1/4, pp. 1-28

How does salient public information affect voters' behavior? In a majoritarian voting game with common preferences, rational voters could use public information as an information device (depending on accuracy) or as a coordination device (regardless of accuracy). A simple lab experiment...
