Die Unternehmenssimulation LogisticPLUS ist ein generelles Planspiel mit Schwerpunkt auf logistischen Fragestellungen. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, Logistikern die Auswirkungen von getroffenen Entscheidungen transparent zu machen und langfristig durch einen Lernprozess bessere Entscheidungen...

Vor die prinzipielle Entscheidung zwischen Eigenproduktion und Fremdbezug gestellt, mit der sich jeder Produzent immer wieder konfrontiert sieht, haben sich die Automobilhersteller in denvergangenen Jahren für letzteres entschieden. ... Wir verstehen (diesen Wandel; Anm. Redaktion EconBiz) als...

In the channels literature, research involving behavioural constructs is extensive. However, there have been persistent calls for more comprehensive models to explain channel phenomena (Anderson and Narus 1984; Anderson and Narus 1990; Gattorna 1978, Stern and Reve 1980) particularly where all construct...

The authors investigated how the presence or absence of monetary incentives in a prisoner’sdilemma game may influence research outcomes. Specifically, the predictive power of the BigFive personality traits on decisions in an incentivized (N = 60) or hypothetical (N = 60)prisoner’s dilemma...

The notion of choice inconsistency is widely spread in the literature on behavioraleconomics. Several approaches were used to account for the observation that peoplereverse their choices over time. This paper aims to explain the formation of resolutionsregarded as internal self-binding devices....

Costly signaling of commitment to a group has been proposed as an explanation forparticipation in religion and ritual. But if the signal’s cost is too small, freeriders willsend the signal and behave selfishly later. Effective signaling may then be prohibitivelycostly. If the average level of...

Unlike previous attempts to implement cooperation in a prisoners’ dilemma gamewith an infinite horizon in the laboratory, we focus on extended prisoners’ dilemmagames in which a second (pure strategy) equilibrium allows for voluntary cooperationin all but the last round. Our four main...

This paper provides a new way to identify conditional cooperationin a real-time version of the standard voluntary contribution mechanism. Ourapproach avoids most drawbacks of the traditional procedures because it relieson endogenous cycle lengths, which are defined by the number of contributors...

Which inequalities among individuals are considered unjust? This paper reportsthe results of an experiment designed to study distributive choices dealing with arbitrarilyunequal initial endowments. In a three-person distribution problem wheresubjects either know or do not know their endowments,...

Recent literature has questioned the existence of a learning foundationfor the partially cursed equilibrium. This paper closes the gap by showingthat a partially cursed equilibrium corresponds to a particular analogy-based expectation equilibrium.
