Beliefs and actions in the trust game : creating instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect
Costa-Gomes, Miguel A.; Huck, Steffen; Weizsäcker, Georg - 2010
In many economic contexts, an elusive variable of interest is the agent's expectation about relevant events, e.g. about other agents' behavior. Recent experimental studies as well as surveys have asked participants to state their beliefs explicitly, but little is known about the causal relation...

Beliefs and actions in the trust game : creating instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect

In many economic contexts, an elusive variable of interest is the agent's belief about relevant events, e.g. about other agents' behavior. A growing number of surveys and experiments ask participants to state beliefs explicitly but little is known about the causal relation between beliefs and...

Complexity, Attention and Choice in Games under Time Constraints : A Process Analysis
Spiliopoulos, Leonidas - 2017
We test empirically the strategic counterpart of the Adaptive Decision Maker hypothesis (Payne et al., 1993), which states that decision makers adapt their attention and decision rules to time pressure in predictable ways. For twenty-nine normal form games, we test whether players adapt to...

Cooperation in Symmetric and Asymmetric Prisoner's Dilemma Games
Beckenkamp, Martin; Hennig‐Schmidt, Heike; … - 2007
We experimentally study the effect of asymmetry on cooperation in a 40 period prisoner's dilemma game in fixed partner design. We distinguish between a high and low payoff symmetric prisoner's dilemma and an asymmetric game combined out of both symmetric ones. Asymmetry significantly decreases...

Hot vs. Cold : Sequential Responses and Preference Stability in Experimental Games
Brandts, Jordi; Charness, Gary - 1999
In experiments with two-person sequential games we analyze whether responses to favorable and unfavorable actions depend on the elicitation procedure. In our 'hot' treatment the second player responds to the first player's observed action while in our 'cold' treatment we follow the 'strategy...

Incentive and signaling effects of bonus payments : an experiment in a company
Deversi, Marvin; Spantig, Lisa - 2023
Economists and management scholars have argued that the scope of incentives to increase cooperation in organizations is … prevailing cooperation levels among employees before they can set incentives to promote cooperation. In addition, employees …-liefs about the cooperativeness of others. Incentives hence have strong positive effects on cooperative beliefs, irrespective of …
