Experimental evidence suggests that individual consumption has not only personal value but also enters the social part of the utility. Existing models of social preferences make ad hoc parametric assumptions about the nature of this duality. This creates a problem of experimental identification...

<Para ID="Par1">This paper identifies, and tests experimentally, a prediction of the Nash bargaining axioms that may appear counterintuitive. The context is a simple bargaining problem in which two players have to agree a choice from three alternatives. One alternative favours one player and a second favours...</para>

Various experimental procedures aimed at measuring individual risk aversion involve a list of pairs of alternative prospects. We first study the widely used method by Holt and Laury (Am Econ Rev 92(5):1644–1655, <CitationRef CitationID="CR21">2002</CitationRef>), for which we find that the removal of some items from the lists yields a...</citationref>

Since the seminal paper of Nash (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 36:48–49, <CitationRef CitationID="CR12">1950</CitationRef>) game theoretic literature has focused mostly on equilibrium and not on maximin (minimax) strategies. In a recent paper of Pruzhansky (Int J Game Theory 40:351–365, <CitationRef CitationID="CR17">2011</CitationRef>) it was shown that under fairy general conditions...</citationref></citationref>
