An eye-tracking study of feature-based choice in one-shot games

Devetag, Giovanna; Di Guida, Sibilla; Polonio, Luca - 2013

We analyze subjects' eye movements while they make decisions in a series of one-shot games. The majority of them perform a partial and selective analysis of the payoff matrix, often ignoring the payoffs of the opponent and/or paying attention only to specific cells. Our results suggest that...

How social preferences shape incentives in (experimental) markets for credence goods

Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Sutter, Matthias; Dulleck, Uwe - 2015 - This Version: February 2015

Credence goods markets suffer from inefficiencies caused by superior information of sellers about the surplus-maximizing quality. While standard theory predicts that equal mark-up prices solve the credence goods problem if customers can verify the quality received, experimental evidence...

Ganglmair, Bernhard; Holcomb, Alex; Myung, Noah - 2019

Informal exchange of information among competitors has been well-documented in a variety of industries, and one's expectation of reciprocity shown to be a key determinant. We use an indeterminate horizon centipede game to establish a feedback loop in the laboratory and show that an individual's...

Investigating the failure to best respond in experimental games

Alempaki, Despoina; Colman, Andrew M.; Kölle, Felix; … - 2019

In experimental games, a substantial minority of players often fail to best respond. Using two-person 3x3 one-shot games, we investigated whether 'structuring' the pre-decision deliberation process produces greater consistency between individuals' stated values and beliefs on the one hand and...

Behavioural Responses to Unfair Institutions : Experimental Evidence on Rule Compliance, Norm Polarisation and Trust

Columbus, Simon; Kasper, Matthias; Feld, Lars P.; … - 2023

This study investigates the effects of unfair enforcement of institutional rules on public good contributions, personal and social norms, and trust. In a preregistered online experiment (n = 1,038), we find that biased institutions reduce rule compliance compared to fair institutions. However,...
