Feature-based choice and similarity in normal-form games: An experimental study

Devetag, Giovanna; Di Guida, Sibilla - 2010

In this paper we test the effect of descriptive features on initial strategic behavior in normal form games, where descriptive are all those features that can be modified without altering the (Nash) equilibrium structure of a game. We observe that our experimental subjects behave according to...

Field and lab convergence in poissin LUPI games

Östling, Robert; Wang, Joseph Tao-yi; Chou, Eileen; … - 2007 - This version: December 15, 2010

Game theory is usually difficult to test precisely in the field because predictions typically depend sensitively on features that are not controlled or observed. We conduct one such test using field data from the Swedish lowest unique positive integer (LUPI) game. In the LUPI game, players pick...

Deciding to distrust

Bohnet, Iris (contributor); Meier, Stephan (contributor) - 2005

We employ experiments to illustrate one factor contributing to the lack of distrust in the recent corporate scandals: Trust rather than no trust was the default. People are more trusting when the default is full trust than when it is no trust. We introduce a new game, the distrust game (DTG),...

Fairweather, Daryl - 2025

"What economists know that we should know, translated for all of us. Should I buy or rent? Do I ask for a promotion? Should I tell people I'm pregnant? What salary do I deserve? Should I just quit this job? Common anxieties about life are often grounded in economics. In an increasingly win-lose...

Social identity in network formation

Chen, Ying; Lane, Tom; Macdonald, Stuart - 2024 - This version: October 10, 2024

Using a laboratory experiment, we study the evolution of economic networks in the context of fragmented social identity. We create societies in which members can initiate and delete links to others, and then earn payoffs from a public goods game played within their network. We manipulate whether...
