Aggregation and convergence in experimental general equilibrium economies constructed from naturally occurring preferences
Crockett, Sean; Friedman, Daniel; Oprea, Ryan - 2017
Prior laboratory experiments have studied general equilibrium economies constructed from "induced preferences" for artificial goods. We introduce new methods that allow us to study economies constructed instead from subjects' actual, "homegrown" preferences. Our subjects reveal their preferences...

Everyday econometricians: Selection neglect and overoptimism when learning from others
Barron, Kai; Huck, Steffen; Jehiel, Philippe - 2019
In this paper, we design an investment game which allows us to study the influence of selection when learning from … others. Using the theoretical study of selection neglect in Jehiel (2018) as a guide, we test (i) for the presence of … selection neglect in this investment context, and (ii) some comparative static predictions of the model. We find strong evidence …

On the economics of the optimal fallow-cultivation cycle
Willassen, Yngve - 2001
This paper considers the so-called fallow-cultivation problem in traditional agriculture. The paper specifies the problem and determines the optimal length of the fallow-cultivation cycle. We also show the impact of rising output prices on this cycle. This has been widely discussed in the...

Self-serving dictators
Asheim, Geir B.; Helland, Leif; Hovi, Jon; Hoyland, Bjorn - 2008
We provide experimental evidence of self-serving fairness ideals in a dictator game design that includes treatments where funds can be transferred in two ways to the one player and in one way to the other. Two methods for transferring funds to the recipient produce the same results as the...
