Is fairness intuitive? : an experiment accounting for the role of subjective utility differences under time pressure
Merkel, Anna; Lohse, Johannes - 2016
Economists are increasingly interested in the cognitive basis of pro-social behavior. Using response time data, several authors have claimed that "fairness is intuitive". In light of conflicting empirical evidence, we provide theoretical arguments showing under which circumstances an increase...

Cognitive Hierarchies and the Centipede Game
Bottero, Margherita - 2010
In this work, I extend the normal form cognitive hierarchy model (Camerer et al. (2004)) to a class of finite two-person extensive form games. I study two versions of such a model: the first is as faithful as possible to the normal form assumptions, while the second modifies them slightly. In...

Cognitive Ability and the Effect of Strategic Uncertainty
Hanaki, Nobuyuki - 2015
How is one's cognitive ability related to the way one responds to strategic uncertainty? We address this question by conducting a set of experiments in simple 2 x 2 dominance solvable coordination games. Our experiments involve two main treatments: one in which two human subjects interact, and...

Li, Ying Xue; Schipper, Burkhard - 2018
We study experimentally persuasion games in which a sender (e.g., a seller) with private information provides verifiable but potentially vague information (e.g., about the quality of a product) to a receiver (e.g., a buyer). Various theoretical solution concepts such as sequential equilibrium or...
