Punishing Free-Riders : How Group Size Affects Mutual Monitoring and the Provision of Public Goods
Carpenter, Jeffrey P. - 2004
Because costly punishment is not credible, subgame perfection suggests that punishment will not deter free riding, regardless of the size or structure of groups. However, experiments show that people will punish free riders, even at considerable cost. To examine the implications of agents who...

Identification, characteristics and impact of faked interviews in surveys : an analysis by means of genuine fakes in the raw data of SOEP
Schraepler, Joerg-Peter; Wagner, Gert G. - 2003
To the best of our knowledge, most of the few methodological studies which analyze the impact of faked interviews on survey results are based on ?artificial fakes? generated by project students in a ?laboratory environment?. In contrast, panel data provide a unique opportunity to identify data...

Learning of General Equilibrium Effects and the Unemployment Trap
Gersbach, Hans; Schniewind, Achim - 2001
We examine wage bargaining when employers and labor unions do not always take all general equilibrium effects into account but learn a steady state. If agents do hardly consider general equilibrium effects, low real wages and low unemployment results. With an intermediate view, when partial...

The returns to seniority in France (and why are they lower than in the United States?)
Beffy, Magali; Buchinsky, Moshe; Fougère, Denis; … - 2006
We estimate a model of the joint participation and mobility along with the individuals' wage formation in France. Our model makes it possible to distinguish between unobserved person heterogeneity and state-dependence. We estimate the model using state of the art Bayesian methods employing a...
