We study how subjects in an experiment use different forms of public information about their opponents' past behavior. In the absence of public information, subjects appear to use rather detailed statistics summarizing their private experiences. If they have additional public information, they...

This paper provides a survey of recent experimental work in economics focusing on social and economic networks. The experiments consider networks of coordination and cooperation, buyer-seller networks, and network formation

This paper presents an experiment on learning in repeated games, which complements the analysis of players' actual … a priori information. The econometrics hinges on a model built upon Experience Weighted Attraction learning, and the … simultaneous analysis of data on the information gathered and on actions taken by the subjects. Results suggest that learning is a …

Recently there has been much theoretical and experimental work on learning in games. However, learning usually means … learning about the strategic behavior of opponents rather than learning about the game as such. In contrast, here we report on … an experiment designed to test whether players learn a) the relevant features of the payoff structure of a 2x2 game (e …

We analyze an experimental public goods game in which group members can endogenously determine whether they want to supplement a standard voluntary contribution mechanism with the possibility of rewarding or punishing other group members. We find a large and positive effect of endogenous...

We present an experiment on strategic thinking and behavior of individuals and teams in one-shot normal-form games. Besides making choices, decision makers have to state their first- and second-order beliefs. We find that teams play the Nash strategy significantly more often, and their choices...

We experimentally study behavior in a simple voting game where players have private information about their preferences. With random matching, subjects overwhelmingly follow the dominant strategy to exaggerate their preferences, which leads to inefficiency. We analyze an exogenous linking...

The power to take game is a simple two player game where players arerandomly divided into pairs consisting of a take authority and responder.Both players in each pair have earned an own income in an individual realeffort decision-making experiment preceding the take game. The gameconsists of two...
