Standard equilibrium concepts in game theory find it difficult to explain the empirical evidence from a large number of static games, including the prisoner's dilemma game, the hawk-dove game, voting games, public goods games and oligopoly games. Under uncertainty about what others will do in...

How do firms motivate their employees to be productive? The conventional wisdom is that workers respond to monetary incentives - "Pay them more and they will work harder." However, a large and growing body of empirical evidence from laboratory and field experiments, surveys, and observational...

A two-person infinite-horizon bargaining model where one of the players may have either of two discount factors, has a multiplicity of perfect Bayesian equilibria. Introducing the slightest possibility that either player may be one of a rich variety of stationary behavioral types singles out a...

We show experimentally that fairness concerns may have a decisive impact on the actual and optimal choice of contracts … in a moral hazard context. Bonus contracts that offer a voluntary and unenforceable bonus for satisfactory performance … provide powerful incentives and are superior to explicit incentive contracts when there are some fair-minded players. But …
