An experimental contribution to the theory of customary (international) law
Engel, Christoph - 2010
In their majority, public international lawyers postulate that for a new rule of customary law to originate, two conditions must be fulfilled: there must be consistent practice, and it must be shown that this practice is motivated by the belief that such behaviour is required in law. Maurice...

A portfolio of dilemmas : experimental evidence on choice bracketing in a mini-trust game
Ding, Jieyao - 2012
