Incentive magnitude effects in experimental games: Bigger is not necessarily better
Pulford, Briony D.; Colman, Andrew M.; Loomes, Graham - In: Games 9 (2018) 1, pp. 1-10
In experimental games, task-related incentives are payments to experimental subjects that vary according to their …-form games under task-related incentives of conventional magnitude and compared them with choices and reasons in the same games … under incentives five times as large. Both strategy choices and self-reported reasons for choices were almost …

Incentivizing creativity : a large-scale experiment with tournaments and gifts
Bradler, Christiane; Neckermann, Susanne; Warnke, Arne - 2016
This paper reports the results from a large-scale laboratory experiment investigating the impact of tournament … incentives and wage gifts on creativity. We find that tournaments substantially increase creative output, with no evidence for … uncertain mapping between effort and output that inhibits reciprocity. This uncertainty is prevalent in creative and other …

Sabotage in Asymmetric Contests – An Experimental Analysis
Kräkel, Matthias; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Harbring, Christine; … - 2004
In a contest players compete for winning a prize by effort and thereby increasing their probability of winning. Contestants, however, could also improve their own relative position by harming the other players. We experimentally analyze contests with heterogeneous agents who may individually...
