Bargaining in the presence of condorcet cycles : the role of asymmetries
Kamm, Aaron; Houba, Harold - 2015
This paper reports results from a laboratory experiment studying the role of asymmetries, both in payoffs and recognition probabilities, in a model of strategic bargaining with Condorcet cycles. Overall, we find only limited support for the equilibrium predictions. The main deviations from...
