Individual behavior and group membership : comment

Sutter, Matthias (contributor); Charness, Gary (contributor) - 2008

Charness et al. (2007b) have shown that group membership has a strong effect on individual decisions in strategic games when group membership is salient through payoff commonality. In this comment I show that their findings also apply to non-strategic decisions, even when no outgroup exists, and...

Cooperation and Competition in Intergenerational Experiments in the Field and the Laboratory

Charness, Gary; Villeval, Marie Claire - 2010

There is economic pressure towards the postponement of the retirement age, but employers are still reluctant to employ older workers. We investigate the comparative behavior of juniors and seniors in experiments conducted both onsite with the employees of two large firms and in a conventional...

Hot vs. Cold : Sequential Responses and Preference Stability in Experimental Games

Brandts, Jordi; Charness, Gary - 1999

In experiments with two-person sequential games we analyze whether responses to favorable and unfavorable actions depend on the elicitation procedure. In our 'hot' treatment the second player responds to the first player's observed action while in our 'cold' treatment we follow the 'strategy...

Uncertainty and Deterrence : Experimental Evidence

Charness, Gary; DeAngelo, Gregory J. - 2010

We conduct laboratory experiments to investigate the effects of deterrence mechanisms under controlled conditions. The effect of the expected cost of punishment of an individual's decision to engage in a proscribed activity and the effect of uncertainty on an individual's decision to commit a...

Repeated Experience and Consistent Risk Preferences

Charness, Gary; Chemaya, Nir - 2023

Economists have developed various methods to elicit risk preferences, which can help forecast decision-making in risky scenarios. However, risk elicitation can be complex, and there remain unresolved challenges. Our research demonstrates that repeated exposure to risk elicitation tasks, such as...

An Experimental Study on the Effects of Communication, Credibility, and Clustering in Network Games

Charness, Gary - 2019

The effectiveness of social interaction depends strongly on an ability to coordinate actions efficiently. In large networks, such coordination may be very difficult to achieve and may depend on the communication technology and the network structure. We examine how pre-play communication and...
