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...

A nonparametric approach is presented to test whether decisions on a probability simplex could be induced by … risk, stochastic choice, and ex-ante fairness considerations. The method is particularly suitable for data collected in a … laboratory experiment. …

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 …

We experimentally study the role of reputation in procurement using two common mechanisms: price-based and buyer-determined auctions. While buyers are bound to buy from the lowest bidder in price-based auctions, they can choose between bidders in buyer-determined auctions. Only in the latter...
