This paper studies the effect of endogenous group formation on the outcome in two types of coordination games with … more groups within which they want to play the coordination game. In the theoretical part we show that a simple myopic best … reply dynamics under endogenous group formation leads to the payoff dominant outcome in both types of coordination games …

We present an economic experiment on network formation, in which subjects can decide to form links to one another …. Direct links are costly but being connected is valuable. The gametheoretic basis for our experiment is the model of Bala and …

We show that temporally distancing the decision task from the payment of the reward increases honest behavior. Each of 427 Israeli soldiers fulfilling their mandatory military service rolled a six-sided die in private and reported the outcome to the unit's cadet coordinator. For every point...

We investigate the impact of trust in authorities on tax compliance within a controlled laboratory setting. Embedded in two hypothetical tax systems with high and low power of authorities respectively, we gradually increase trust in authorities in form of tax knowledge about public expenditures...
