Extrapolation in games of coordination and dominance solvable games

Mengel, Friederike; Sciubba, Emanuela - 2010

We study extrapolation between games in a laboratory experiment. Participants in our experiment first play either the …

Intentions and consequences : an experimental investigation of trust and reciprocity determinants

Güth, Werner; Mugera, Harriet; Musau, Andrew; Ploner, … - 2012

Experimental "beauty contests" with homogeneous and heterogeneous players and with interior and boundary equilibria

Güth, Werner; Kocher, Martin; Sutter, Matthias - 2001

We study behavior in experimental beauty contests with, first, boundary and interior equilibria, and, second, homogeneous and heterogenous types of players. We find quicker and better convergence to the game-theoretic equilibrium with interior equilibria and homogeneous players. -- beauty...

Heterogeneous social preference and the dynamics of free riding in public goods

Fischbacher, Urs (contributor); Gächter, Simon (contributor) - 2006

We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences in voluntary cooperation. We elicit individuals’ cooperation … preference in one experiment and make a point prediction about the contribution to a repeated public good. This allows for a … novel test as to whether there are "types" of players who behave consistently with their elicited preferences. We find clear …

The Effect of Religion on Cooperation and Altruistic Punishment : Experimental Evidence from Public Goods Experiments

Akay, Alpaslan - 2011

This paper experimentally examines how religious festivals and the degree of religiosity affect cooperation and altruistic punishment by using public goods experiments. We conducted the experiments in Turkey at different points in time; one on the most religious day during Ramadan (the Night of...

On the Role of Non-Equilibrium Focal Points as Coordination Devices

Bosch i Domènech, Antoni - 2008

Considering a pure coordination game with a large number of equivalent equilibria, we argue, first, that a focal point that is itself not a Nash equilibrium and is Pareto dominated by all Nash equilibria, may attract the players' choices. Second, we argue that such a non-equilibrium focal point...
