Die Rolle von Marktstruktur und Tarifvertrag für das Problem beziehungsspezifischer Investitionen
Pohl, Hartmut - 2001
In empirischen und theoretischen Untersuchungen wird die Rolle von Verträgen für das Zustandekommen von ökonomischen Transaktionen auf Arbeitsmärkten betont. Da die Investitionstätigkeit in Sach- und Humankapital sowie in Forschung und Entwicklung häufig spezifisch erfolgt, ist es...

Second-Price Proxy Auctions in Bidder-Seller Networks
Ott, Marion - 2009
We analyze a model of Internet auctions. Sellers each offer one item of a heterogeneous good to bidders who have unit-demand preferences. Items are sold in second-price proxy auctions. We derive a perfect Bayesian (epsilon-) equilibrium. Our experimental findings support the theoretical results....

Appropriation Externalities in the Commons: Theory and Experimental Evidence
Herr, Andrew - 1996
"A common-pool resource (CPR) is defined as any resource in which exclusion is difficult and consumption of resource units is rival. Examples of CPRs include groundwater basins, fisheries, forests, grazing ranges, and irrigation systems in which property rights--or the ability to uphold such...

Essays on Individual Behavior in Social Dilemma Environments: An Experimental Analysis
Dudley, Dean - 1993
"In this study, individual level behavior is investigated in the context of computer assisted voluntary contribution mechanism public good (VCM) provision experiments and common pool resource (CPR) appropriation experiments. Previous studies of these environments have concentrated on aggregate...

Join the Leader, Imitate or Follow: Evolutionary Stable Strategies in the Commons
Schott, Stephan - 2010
"We develop an evolutionary game theory model for a limited access common pool resource. With full disclosure of individual extraction decisions and payoffs we conjecture that subjects will imitate the most successful players’ strategy as long as their payoffs increase. We derive a stable...

Behavioral Foundations of Reciprocity: Experimental Economics and Evolutionary Psychology
Hoffman, Elizabeth; McCabe, Kevin; Smith, Vernon - 1995
"Laboratory experiments have generally supported the fundamental theorem that, in classical property rights environments, noncooperative behavior in large group markets yields efficient social outcomes. Experiments, however, regularly fail to support the game theoretic prediction of...

Rethinking Local Commons Dilemmas: Lessons from Experimental Economics in the Field
Cardenas, Juan Camilo - 2002
"In particular, the academic debate over the best prediction about the behavior of people that use a common-pool resource (CPR), and the recommended policy approaches to the CPR dilemma have undergone a very interesting evolution throughout the last 3 decades of the pastcentury, since the...
