A within-subject analysis of other-regarding preferences
Blanco, Mariana; Engelmann, Dirk; Normann, Hans-Theo - 2010
We assess the predictive power of a model of other-regarding preferences - inequality aversion - using a within-subjects design. We run four different experiments (ultimatum game, dictator game, sequential-move prisoners' dilemma and public-good game) with the same sample of subjects. We elicit...

Experienced vs. inexperienced participants in the lab : do they behave differently?
Benndorf, Volker; Moellers, Claudia; Normann, Hans-Theo - 2017
We analyze whether subjects with extensive laboratory experience and first-time participants, who voluntarily registered for the experiment, differ in their behavior. Subjects play four one-shot, two-player games: a trust game, a beauty contest, an ultimatum game, a travelers' dilemma and, in...

Leading with(out) sacrifice? : a public-goods experiment with a super-additive player
Glöckner, Andreas; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Kube, Sebastian - 2009
We analyse two team settings in which one member in a team has stronger incentives to contribute than the others. If contributions constitute a sacrifice for the strong player, the other team members are more inclined to cooperate than if contributions are strictly dominant for the strong...

How competitiveness may cause a gender wage gap : experimental evidence
Heinz, Matthias; Normann, Hans-Theo; Rau, Holger A. - 2016
We show that choices in competitive behavior may entail a gender wage gap. In our experi ments, employees first choose a remuneration scheme (competitive tournament vs. piece rate) and then conduct a real-effort task. Employers know the pie size the employee has generated, the remuneration...

Equilibrium selection with coupled populations in hawk-dove games : theory and experiment in continuous time
Benndorf, Volker; Martinez-Martinez, Ismael; Normann, … - 2016
Standard one- and two-population models for evolutionary games are the limit cases of a uniparametric family combining intra- and intergroup interactions. Our setup interpolates between both extremes with a coupling parameter k. For the example of the hawk-dove game, we analyze the replicator...
