Vendettas
Bolle, Friedel; Tan, Jonathan H.W.; Zizzo, Daniel John - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2010
Vendettas occur in many real world settings where rivals compete for a prize, e.g., winning an election or a competitive promotion, by engaging in retaliatory aggressive behavior. We present a benchmark experiment where two players have an initial probability of winning a prize. Retaliatory...

Experimenter Demand Effects and Altruism towards the Experimenter
Fleming, Piers; Zizzo, Daniel John - School of Economics, University of East Anglia - 2013
As a stress test of experimenter demand effects, we run an experiment where subjects can physically destroy coupons awarded to them. About one subject out of three does. Giving money back to the experimenter is possible in a separate task but is more consistent with an experimenter demand effect...

Trust Responsiveness and Beliefs
Guerra, Gerardo A.; Zizzo, Daniel John - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2002
Trust responsiveness is the tendency to fulfill trust because you believe that it has been placed on you. The … experiment presented in this paper uses two simple trust games to measure directly or indirectly the robustness of trust … elicited but not transmitted, when beliefs are not elicited. Insofar as we can tell, trust responsiveness is robust to our …

Reminders, payment method and charitable giving: evidence from an online experiment
Sonntag, Axel; Zizzo, Daniel John - School of Economics, University of East Anglia - 2014
We present the results of an experiment testing whether different methods of payment in combination with different reminder intervals affect the amounts of charitable donations. Following a lab session, participants could make online donations to charity for a total duration of three months....

Understanding Perpetual R&D Races
Breitmoser, Yves; Tan, Jonathan H.W.; Zizzo, Daniel John - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2008
This paper presents an experimental study of dynamic indefinite horizon R&D races with uncertainty and multiple prizes. The theoretical predictions are highly sensitive: small parameter changes determine whether technological competition is sustained, or converges into a market structure with an...

Money Burning and Stealing in the Laboratory: How Conflicting Ideologies Emerge
Zizzo, Daniel John - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2000
Three experiments on utility interdependence are discussed. Subjects receive money by betting and possibly by arbitrary assignments. They can then pay to reduce and, possibly, redistribute the steal money; in one case, only the decisions of a randomly determined dictator are implemented. The...

Understanding Perpetual R&D Races
Breitmoser, Yves; Tan, Jonathan H. W.; Zizzo, Daniel John - Centre for Competition Policy, University of East Anglia - 2008
This paper presents an experimental study of dynamic indefinite horizon R and D races with uncertainty and multiple prizes. The theoretical predictions are highly sensitive: small parameter changes determine whether technological competition is sustained, or converges into a market structure...
