This paper reports the results of informational cascades experiments where two different decision-making systems, anti …-seniority, but it increases the risk for creating negative cascades, (3) for both systems, rational complete cascades occur less … frequently than those which the Bayesian theory predicts, (4) subjects in seniority put equal weight on private signals and on …

We propose a … this scenario, risk-averse players tend to increase their reservation value and extend their search duration. We also test … our theory in a laboratory experiment with a search game to track subjects' behavior and use a multiple price list and a …

We propose and experimentally test two tractable methods to incentivize the elicitation of private information: Benchmark and Coordination. Both mechanisms capitalize on the false consensus effect, a well-documented phenomenon that follows Bayesian reasoning. That is, individuals use their own...

We design an experiment to study how reversible entry decisions are affected by public and private payoff disclosure policies. In our environment, subjects choose between a risky payoff, which evolves according to an autoregressive process, and a constant outside option payoff. The treatments...

In a cascade experiment subjects are confronted with artificial predecessors prdecting in line with the BHW model (Bikhchandandi, Hirshleifer and Welch, 1992). Using the BDM mechanism we study subjects' probability assignments based on price limits for participating in the prediction game. We...
