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...

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,...
