Imperfect Information, Multilateral Bargaining, and Unitization: An Experimental Analysis

Wiggins, Steve; Hackett, Steven C.; Battalio, Raymond C. - 1991

"This paper provides an experimental analysis of bargaining under imperfect information, molded by the circumstances found in oil field unitization. The purpose of the study is two-fold. One purpose is to provide a more in-depth analysis of how information affects bargained shares and...

Behavioral Foundations of Reciprocity: Experimental Economics and Evolutionary Psychology

Hoffman, Elizabeth; McCabe, Kevin; Smith, Vernon - 1995

"Laboratory experiments have generally supported the fundamental theorem that, in classical property rights environments, noncooperative behavior in large group markets yields efficient social outcomes. Experiments, however, regularly fail to support the game theoretic prediction of...

Production Function and Institutions

Sengupta, Nirmal - 1998

"The classical economists were primarily engaged in analysis of the wonder that is production. The marginalists, while laying the foundation of mathematical economics, shifted its focus to rational behavior of a single consumer, presumably because there they found a problem readily amenable to...

Exploiting Common Resources with Capital-Intensive Technologies: The Role of External Forces

Engel, Stefanie; Lopez, Ramon - 2004

"Many natural resources can be effectively exploited mainly by using capital-intensive technologies. We develop a bargaining model with endogenous inside and outside options to analyze the interactions between local communities having at least some degree of informal claims over natural...

The Use of Peer Sanctioning Mechanisms in an Asymmetric Commons Dilemma: An Experimental Study

Eisentraut, Renate - 2000

"In symmetric commons dilemmas, peer sanctioning, i.e. the possibility to gather information about the resource use of others and to sanction overuse, can be an effective structural solution in terms of resource conservation. However, most real world commons are characterized by structural...

ARDI: A Co-construction Method for Participatory Modeling in Natural Resources Management

Etienne, Michel; Du Toit, Derick R.; Pollard, Sharon - 2011

"The outcomes of a series of tests of the ARDI (Actors, Resources, Dynamics, and Interactions) method in complex cases or conflict-ridden situations is presented. ARDI is part of a companion modeling approach that makes it possible to engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders in the design and...

Modelling Evolving Rules for the Use of Common-Pool Resources in an Agent-Based Model

Smajgl, Alexander - 2007

"Institutional arrangements are key drivers of the use of common-pool resources (CPR). The analysis of existing arrangements requires a framework that allows research to describe a case study systematically and diagnose the institutional setting. Based on a sound understanding of current...

Strategic Manipulation of Pollution Permit Markets: An Experimental Approach

Brown-Kruse, Jamie; Elliott, Steven R.; Godby, Rob - 1995

"In this paper we employ experimental economic methods to examine the effect of market structure on the use of marketable emissions permits. In particular, we ask whether firms can strategically manipulate a product market using marketable emissions permits. Subjects participate in two markets,...
