Emotion at stake : the role of stake size and emotions in a power-to-take game experiment in China with a comparison to Europe
Bosman, Ronald; Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Winden, Frans A. … - 2016
This paper experimentally investigates how monetary incentives and emotions influence behaviour in a two-player power-to-take game. In this game, one player can claim any part of the other's endowment (take rate), and the second player can respond by destroying his or her own endowment. We focus...

Cultural Differences in Ultimatum Game Experiments : Evidence from a Meta-Analysis
Oosterbeek, Hessel; Sloof, Randolph; van de Kuilen, Gijs - 2001
This paper reports the results of a meta-analysis of 32 papers with results from ultimatum game experiments. We find that on average the proposer offers 40% of the pie to the responder. This share is independent of the size of the pie and of the use of the strategy method. On average 16% of the...

Using response times to measure strategic complexity and the value of thinking in games
Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria L. - 2017
Response times are a simple low-cost indicator of the process of reasoning in strategic games (Rubinstein, 2007; Rubinstein, 2016). We leverage the dynamic nature of response-time data from repeated strategic interactions to measure the strategic complexity of a situation by how long people think on...

Imperfect recall and time inconsistencies : an experimental test of the absentminded driver “paradox”
Levati, M. Vittoria; Uhl, Matthias; Zultan, Ro'i - 2010
Absentmindedness is a special case of imperfect recall which according to Piccione and Rubinstein (1997a) leads to time inconsistencies. Aumann, Hart and Perry (1997a) question their argument and show how dynamic inconsistencies can be resolved. The present paper explores this issue from a...

Experimenting with strategic experimentation : risk taking, neighborhood size and network structure
Große, Niels D. - 2010
This paper investigates the effects of neighborhood size and network structure on strategic experimentation. We analyze a multi-arm bandit game with one safe and two risky alternatives. In this setting, risk taking produces a learning externality and an opportunity for free riding. We conduct a...

Risk-tolerant women donate more than men : experimental evidence of dictator games
Müller, Stephan; Rau, Holger A. - 2015
In a within-subjects experiment we test the relation of risk preferences and charitable giving. Women not only give substantially more than men, but also show an economically significant positive correlation between risk tolerance and donation levels. We find no such correlation for men. Men and...
