Falk, Armin; Kosfeld, Michael - Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre, …

We present an economic experiment on network formation, in which subjects can decide to form links to one another. Direct links are costly but being connected is valuable. The game-theoretic basis for our experiment is the model of Bala and Goyal (2000). They distinguish between two scenarios...

Crettez, Bertrand; Deloche, Régis - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 87 (2013) C, pp. 66-72

Numerous papers show how game theory can improve our understanding of literature. There is no paper, however, using experimental economics to arrive at a new understanding of a play. We fill this gap by using experimental evidence to compare the last two versions of Molière's Tartuffe. In the...
