Other-regarding Preferences, Group Identity and Political Participation: An Experiment

Robalo, Pedro; Schram, Arthur; Sonnemans, Joep - 2013

We experimentally study the relationship between other-regarding preferences, group identity and political participation. In doing so, we propose a novel group identity induction procedure that succeeds in creating environments where in-group bias is either high or low. At the individual level,...

Does Stake Size matter for Cooperation and Punishment?

Kocher, Martin G.; Martinsson, Peter; Visser, Martine - 2006

The effects of stake size on cooperation and punishment are investigated using a public goods experiment. We find that … an increase in stake size does neither significantly affect cooperation nor, interestingly, the level of punishment. …

Stress Reactions cannot explain the Gender Gap in Willingness to compete

Buser, Thomas; Dreber, Anna; Mollerstrom, Johanna - 2015

Women are often less willing than men to compete, even in tasks where there is no gender gap in performance. Also, many people experience competitive contexts as stressful and previous research has documented that men and women sometimes react differently to acute stressors. We use two...

The Endowment Effect in Games

Drouvelis, Michalis; Sonnemans, Joep - 2015

We study experimentally whether the endowment effect survives in a social and strategic context. Participants are asked for their Willingness-to-Accept (WTA) or Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) to play a series of 2x2 games. In the second part of the experiment, we study the endowment effect in...

A Dynamic Model of Investor Decision-Making: How Adaptation to Losses affects Future Selling Decisions

Lee, Carmen; Kraeussl, Roman; Lucas, André; Paas, … - 2008

We conduct an experiment to test whether the size of a loss and the time in a losing position affect investors’ adaptation to the loss situation and, subsequently, whether this adaptation affects future investment decisions. As investors adapt to losses, their neutral reference point shifts...

What can the Big Five Personality Factors contribute to explain Small-Scale Economic Behavior?

Muller, Julia; Schwieren, Christiane - 2012

Growing interest in using personality variables in economic research leads to the question whether personality as measured by psychology is useful to predict economic behavior. Is it reasonable to expect values on personality scales to be predictive of behavior in economic games? It is undoubted...

Self-Confidence and Strategic Deterrence

Charness, Gary; Rustichini, Aldo; van de Ven, Jeroen - 2011

We examine factors that may contribute to 'overconfidence' in relative ability on an intelligence test. We test experimentally for evidence of self-esteem concerns and instrumental strategic concerns. Errors in Bayesian updating are rare when the information does not involve own relative...

Strategies and Evolution in the Minority Game: A Multi- Round Strategy Experiment

Linde, Jona; Sonnemans, Joep; Tuinstra, Jan - 2013

Minority games are a stylized description of strategic situations with both coordination and competition. These games are widely studied using either simulations or laboratory experiments. Simulations can show the dynamics of aggregate behavior, but the results of such simulations depend on the...

Do Women give up Competing more easily? Evidence from the Lab and the Dutch Math Olympiad

Buser, Thomas; Yuan, Huaiping - 2016

We conduct three lab experiments and use field data from the Dutch Math Olympiad to study how the gender gap in willingness to compete evolves in response to experience. The main result is that women are more likely than men to stop competing if they lose. In the Dutch Math Olympiad, this means...
