Due to significant cooperation, we observe that, in team remuneration, participants …We present a model where each of two players chooses between remuneration based on either private or team effort …

Do economists punish less?
Kaiser, Jonas Pilgaard; Pedersen, Kasper Selmar; Koch, … - In: Games 9 (2018) 4/75, pp. 1-17
A number of studies discuss whether and how economists differ from other disciplines in the amount that they contribute to public goods. We view this debate as incomplete because it neglects the willingness to sanction non-cooperative behavior, which is crucial for maintaining social order and...

Feature-based choice and similarity perception in normal-form games : an experimental study
Di Guida, Sibilla; Devetag, Giovanna - In: Games 4 (2013) 4, pp. 776-794
In this paper, we claim that agents confronting with new interactive situations apply behavioral heuristics that drastically reduce the problem complexity either by neglecting the other players’ incentives, or by restricting attention to subsets of “salient” outcomes. We postulate that...

Human cooperation, occurring without reciprocation and between unrelated individuals in large populations, represents … evidence for lower cooperation (i) when exposed to social information about peer cooperation levels than without such … observed cooperation was more likely to be caused by participants' general propensity to cooperate than by the effect of social …

Lab-sophistication : does repeated participation in laboratory experiments affect pro-social behaviour?
Medda, Tiziana; Pelligra, Vittorio; Reggiani, Tommaso - In: Games 12 (2021) 1/18, pp. 1-14
Experimental social scientists working at research-intensive institutions deal inevitably with subjects who have most likely participated in previous experiments. It is an important methodological question to know whether participants that have acquired a high level of lab-sophistication show...

Should I play or should I go? : individuals' characteristics and preference for uncertainty
Saraiva, Tânia; Gonçalves, Tiago Cruz - In: Games 13 (2022) 2, pp. 1-14
This paper presents an incentivized experiment analyzing the role of demographic characteristics in individual decision-making under uncertainty. Reactions to a natural source of uncertainty, payoffs in a TV game show, were measured using Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA),...

Gender and risk aversion : evidence from a natural experiment
Pacheco, Luís; Lobão, Júlio; Coelho, Sílvia - In: Games 14 (2023) 3, pp. 1-16
The theoretical literature on risk aversion and Expected Utility Theory is extensive; however, the analysis of this behaviour with natural experiments could be more comprehensive. In this paper, we use data from 120 episodes of the Portuguese version of the TV game show The Price is Right, namely...

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"...
