Joint inference and counterfactual experimentation for impulse response functions by local projections
Jordà, Òscar - 2007
This paper provides three measures of the uncertainty associated to an impulse response path: (1) conditional confidence bands which isolate the uncertainty of individual response coefficients given the temporal path experienced up to that point; (2) response percentile bounds} which provide...

Price Competition and Market Concentration: An Experimental Study
Dufwenberg, Martin; Gneezy, Uri - 1998
The classical price competition model (named after Bertrand), prescribes that in equilibrium prices are equal to marginal costs. Moreover, prices do not depend on the number of competitors. Since this outcome is not in line with real-life observations, it is known as the Bertrand Paradox. Many...

Priming in economics
Cohn, Alain; Maréchal, Michel André - 2016
Conceptual priming has become an increasingly popular tool in economics. Here, we review the literature that uses priming in incentivized experiments to study economic questions. We mainly focus on the role of social identity, culture, and norms in shaping preferences and behavior. We also...

Second Thoughts on Free Riding
Nielsen, Ulrik H.; Tyran, Jean-Robert; Wengström, Erik - 2013
We use the strategy method to classify subjects into cooperator types in a large-scale online Public Goods Game and find that free riders spend more time on making their decisions than conditional cooperators and other cooperator types. This result is robust to reversing the framing of the game...

Cooperation, Framing and Political Attitudes
Fosgaard, Toke R.; Hansen, Lars G.; Wengström, Erik - 2017
This paper shows that political attitudes are linked to cooperative behavior in an incentivized experiment with a large … sample randomly drawn from the Danish population. However, this relationship depends on the way the experiment is framed. In …

On the behavior of proposers in ultimatum games
Brenner, Thomas; Vriend, Nicolaas J. - 2003
We demonstrate that one should not expect convergence of the proposals to the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium offer in standard ultimatum games. First, imposing strict experimental control of the behavior of the receiving players and focusing on the behavior of the proposers, we show...

Auctioning risk: The all-pay auction under mean-variance preferences
Klose, Bettina; Schweinzer, Paul - 2014
We analyse the all-pay auction with incomplete information and variance-averse bidders. We characterise the symmetric equilibrium for general distributions of valuations and any number of bidders. Variance aversion is a sufficient assumption to predict that high-valuation bidders increase their...
