How voice shapes reactions to impartial decision makers: An experiment
Kleine, Marco; Langenbach, Pascal; Zhurakhovska, Lilia - 2013
We study how participation in decision processes shapes people's behavior towards impartial authorities. In an incentivized laboratory experiment, an impartial decision maker at first decides about the allocation of money between two subordinates. Treatments differ in the opportunity for one...

Competition in a pure world of Internet telephony
Engel, Christoph - 2007
From the angle of competition policy, Voice over IP looks like a panacea. It not only brings better service, but it also increases competitive pressure on former telecommunications monopolists. This paper points to the largely overlooked downside. In a pure world of Internet telephony, there...

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...

Voice effects on attitudes towards an impartial decision maker : experimental evidence
Kleine, Marco; Langenbach, Pascal; Zhurakhovska, Lilia - 2013
The opportunity to voice one's opinion about a decision is a fundamental aspect of procedural fairness and applies to a large variety of economic interactions. Voice may influence decision makers, but at the same time it shapes behavior of those who can voice their opinion. We study the latter...

Public-good provision, mechanism design and voting
Bierbrauer, Felix; Hellwig, Martin - 2015
We study the relation between mechanism design and voting in public-good provision. If incentive mechanisms must satisfy conditions of coalition-proofness and robustness, as well as individual incentive compatibility, the participants' contributions to public-good provision can only depend on...

Strategic disclosure of demand information by duopolists: Theory and experiment
Jansen, Jos; Pollak, Andreas - 2015
We study the strategic disclosure of demand information and product-market strategies of duopolists. In a setting where … both firms receive information with some probability, we show that firms selectively disclose information in equilibrium in … the information structure, the mode of competition, and the degree of product differentiation. Moreover, in our experiment …

The genericity of the McAfee-Reny condition for full surplus extraction in models with a continuum of types
Gizatulina, Alia; Hellwig, Martin - 2015
McAfee and Reny (1992) have given a necessary and sufficient condition for full surplus extraction in models with a continuum of types. We interpret their condition as significantly stronger version of the requirement of injectiveness of the function mapping abstract types into beliefs and prove...

Public-good provision in large economies: Robust incentive compatibility, immunity to robustly blocking coalitions, and voting
Bierbrauer, Felix; Hellwig, Martin - 2015
In a large economy, a first-best provison rule for a public good is robustly implementable with budget balance because no one individual alone can affect the aggregate outcome. First-best outcomes can, however, be blocked by coalitions of agents acting in concert. With a requirement of immunity...
