A survey-based choice experiment on coca cultivation
Ibanez, Marcela; Carlsson, Frederik - 2009
From 1997 to 2005, an astonishing 5,200 million USD was invested to reduce cocaine production in Colombia, the world's main cocaine producer. However, little is known about the effectiveness of policies targeting coca cultivation. This paper uses a surveybased experiment to evaluate the effects...

Separating the Hawks from the Doves : evidence from continuous time laboratory games
Oprea, Ryan; Henwood, Keith; Friedman, Daniel - 2010
Human players in our laboratory experiment received flow payoffs over 120 seconds each period from a standard Hawk-Dove bimatrix game played in continuous time. Play converged closely to the symmetric mixed Nash equilibrium under a one-population matching protocol. When the same players were...

Choice Under the Shadow of Conflict : An Experimental Investigation
Hoffer, Adam J. - 2015
This study uses a controlled laboratory experiment to analyze the effects of conflict on economic growth and … civilization under various conflict scenarios. The findings suggest that conflict has a negative effect on economic growth (30 ….40 percent less wealth creation in treatment group). The shadow of conflict is enough to strongly distort resource allocation (36 …

The impact of fine size and uncertainty on punishment and deterrence : theory and evidence from the laboratory
Feess, Eberhard; Schildberg-Hörisch, Hannah; Schramm, … - 2015
We develop a theoretical model to identify and compare partial and equilibrium effects of uncertainty and the magnitude of fines on punishment and deterrence. Partial effects are effects on potential violators' and punishers' decisions when the other side's behavior is exogenously given....

Cooperation, punishment and organized crime : a lab-in-the-field experiment in Southern Italy
Nese, Annamaria; O'Higgins, Shane Niall; Sbriglia, Patrizia - 2016
This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation which allows a deeper insight into the nature of social preferences amongst organized criminals and how these differ from "ordinary" criminals on the one hand and from the non‐criminal population in the same geographical area on...
