We examine the force of three types of behavioral dynamics in quantity-setting triopoly experiments:mimicking the … competitive, the collusive, and the Cournot-Nash outcome, respectively. In the experiment we employ three information treatments …

We analyze an experimental public goods game in which group members can endogenously determine whether they want to supplement a standard voluntary contribution mechanism with the possibility of rewarding or punishing other group members. We find a large and positive effect of endogenous...
