We formulate a dynamic game model of trade in an exhaustible resource with a quantity-setting cartel. We compute the … importing country, and leadership by the exporting cartel. We numerically show that as compared to the Nash equilibrium, both … players are better off if the importing country is the leader. The follower is worse off if the exporting cartel is the leader …

. Using fixed effect panel regression models we find that cooperation significantly increases when participants are forced to … guess the degree of overall cooperation. We also find that the possibility to make announcements during the experiment … enhances cooperation significantly although these commitments are not binding and heavily used for cheating purposes. We …

While there is an extensive literature on the theory of in finitely repeated games, empirical evidence on how “the … higher the levels of cooperation. We compare the behavior from these in finitely repeated games with behavior from finitely … repeated games of the same expected length and we find that there is more cooperation in the in finitely repeated games …
