There is extensive evidence documenting the economic consequences of discrimination patterns between individuals belonging to the same or different group identities. However, many group identities rely on convictions and beliefs that are non-observable, and therefore, might be uncertain. This...

In the context of supply function competition with private information, we test in the laboratory whether - as predicted in Bayesian equilibrium - costs that are positively correlated lead to steeper supply functions and less competitive outcomes than do uncorrelated costs. We find that the...

We design a laboratory experiment to test the importance of wealth as a channel for financial contagion across markets with unrelated fundamentals. In a sequential global game,we analyze the decisions of a group of investors that hold assets in two markets. We considertwo treatments that vary...

Book chapter which reviews Reinhard Selten's School of Thought on economic behavior from the perspectives of economic theory and experimentation. We highlight the contrast between these two perspective and how bounded rationality serves the bridge between the two. We make special emphasis on his...

We examine the competition between a transparent exchange organized as a limit order book and an opaque dark pool in the presence of asymmetric information. We show that the coexistence of a dark pool with an exchange not only enlarges traders' strategy set but may also induce trading venue...

This paper analyses the equilibrium and welfare properties of an economy characterized by uncertainty and payoff externalities using a general model that nests several applications. Agents receive a private signal and an endogenous public signal, which is a noisy aggregate of individual actions...
