Can we manage first impressions in cooperation problems? : an experimental study on "Broken (and Fixed) Windows"

Engel, Christoph; Kube, Sebastian; Kurschilgen, Michael - 2011

Cooperation problems are at the heart of many everyday situations. In this paper, we propose a very simple and light-handed mechanism to sustain cooperation and test its performance in a rich laboratory environment. The mechanism moderates cooperation by controlling experiences, more...

Improving Truthful Reporting of Polluting Firms by Rotating Inspectors : Experimental Evidence from a Bribery Game

Shen, Peiyao - 2019

We consider a two-layered review system of environmental regulation where a polluting firm periodically self-reports its emissions to a regulatory authority. The system typically requires a third party to verify the firm's report and, in addition, an official of the regulatory authority to...

Whistle-blower protection : theory and experimental evidence

Mechtenberg, Lydia; Mühlheußer, Gerd; Roider, Andreas - 2017

Whistle-blowing by employees plays a major role in uncovering corporate fraud. Various recent laws aim at improving protection of whistle-blowers and enhancing their willingness to report. Evidence on the effectiveness of such legislation is, however, scarce. Moreover, critics have raised...

Strategic abuse and accuser credibility

Di Pei, Harry; Strulovici, Bruno - 2018

We study the interaction between a potential offender's (principal ) incentive to commit crimes and the potential victims' (agents) incentive to report crime. The probability of crime and the credibility of reports are endogenously determined in equilibrium, and the principal is convicted if...

Confusion and reinforcement learning in experimental public goods games

Bayer, Ralph-C.; Renner, Elke; Sausgruber, Rupert - 2009

. The results show that reinforcement learning leads to dynamics similar to those observed in standard public goods games … explained by reinforcement learning. According to our estimates, learning only accounts for 41 percent of the decay in …, differ strongly from the learning dynamics, while a learning model estimated from the limited information treatment tracks …

Belief formation in a signalling game without common prior : an experiment

Possajennikov, Alexandre - 2012

Using belief elicitation, the paper investigates the formation and the evolution of beliefs in a signalling game in which a common prior on Sender's type is not induced. Beliefs are elicited about the type of the Sender and about the strategies of the players. The experimental subjects often...

A partial folk theorem for games with private learning

Wiseman, Thomas - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 7 (2012) 2, pp. 217-239

The payoff matrix of a finite stage game is realized randomly, and then the stage game is repeated infinitely. The distribution over states of the world (a state corresponds to a payoff matrix) is commonly known, but players do not observe nature’s choice. Over time, they can learn the state...

Behavioral and experimental macroeconomics and policy analysis : a complex systems approach

Hommes, Cars H. - 2018

This survey discusses behavioral and experimental macroeconomics emphasizing a complex systems perspective. The economy consists of boundedly rational heterogeneous agents who do not fully understand their complex environment and use simple decision heuristics. Central to our survey is the...
