Conducting Interactive Experiments Online
Arechar, Antonio A.; Gächter, Simon; Molleman, Lucas - 2017
. To this end, we conduct a repeated public goods experiment with and without punishment using samples from the laboratory … and the online platform Amazon Mechanical Turk. We chose to replicate this experiment because it is long and logistically … reducing dropout and show that, for our case study, dropouts are exogenous to the experiment. We conclude that data quality for …

Money Illusion and Coordination Failure
Fehr, Ernst; Tyran, Jean-Robert - 2004
Economists long considered money illusion to be largely irrelevant. Here we show, however, that money illusion has powerful effects on equilibrium selection. If we represent payoffs in nominal terms, choices converge to the Pareto inefficient equilibrium; however, if we lift the veil of money by...

Carpenter, Jeffrey P.; Bowles, Samuel; Gintis, Herbert - 2006
Monitoring by peers is often an effective means of attenuating incentive problems. Most explanations of the efficacy of mutual monitoring rely either on small group size or on a version of the Folk theorem with repeated interactions which requires reasonably accurate public information...

Strategic sophistication of adolescents: Evidence from experimental normal-form games
Czermak, Simon; Feri, Francesco; Rützler, Daniela; … - 2010
We examine the strategic sophistication of adolescents, aged 10 to 17 years, in experimental normal-form games. Besides making choices, subjects have to state their first- and second-order beliefs. We find that choices are more often a best reply to beliefs if any player has a dominant strategy...
