This study examines the effects of initial endowment size on individual behavior in a binary choice game with no dominant strategy. Subjects make decisions in two, theoretically identical sequences, differing in initial endowment levels only. Each decision involves a choice between an option...

We derive bounds on the causal effect of belief-dependent preferences (reciprocity and guilt aversion) on choices in sequential two-player games without exploiting information or data on the (higher-order) beliefs of players. We show how informative bounds can be derived by exploiting a specific...

We leverage the assumption that preferences are stable across contexts to par- tially identify and conduct inference on the parameters of a structural model of risky choice. Working with data on households’ deductible choices across three lines of insurance coverage and a model that nests...
