In nonpoint source pollution problems, the regulator does not observe each polluter’s individual emission, which prevents him from using the conventional policy instruments. Therefore, new instruments have been designed to regulate this type of pollution. In an experiment, we compare the...

In a laboratory experiment, we investigate behavior in a principal–agent situation with moral hazard. We evaluate the predictive success of two theories. One is the standard agency theory, which assumes that the agent will accept any contract offer that satisfies his participation...

Nous étudions expérimentalement les résultats d’un jeu de coordination à deux joueurs et deux actions par joueur répété sur 50 périodes. Ce jeu de coordination de type « chasse au cerf » possède deux équilibres de Nash en stratégie pure qui sont Pareto ordonnés : un...
