Shifting Europe's Boundaries
Maier, Jürgen; Rittberger, Berthold - In: European Union Politics 9 (2008) 2, pp. 243-267
This article demonstrates that public attitudes towards EU enlargement are strongly affected by exposure to the mass media. It reveals `priming' effects by showing that media exposure affects the standards by which individuals evaluate the accession of potential candidate countries. To gain a...

Man versus Nash An experiment on the self-enforcing nature of mixed strategy equilibrium
Shachat, Jason; Swarthout, J. Todd; Wei, Lijia - Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE), … - 2011
We examine experimentally how humans behave when they play against a computer which implements its part of a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. We consider two games, one zero-sum and another unprofitable with a pure minimax strategy. A minority of subjects’ play was consistent with their...

Efficient Coordination in Weakest-Link Games
Riedl, Arno; Rohde, Ingrid M.T.; Strobel, Martin - Murat Sertel İleri İktisadi Araştırmalar Merkezi, … - 2011
Existing experimental research on behavior in weakest-link games shows overwhelmingly the inability of people to coordinate on the efficient equilibrium, especially in larger groups. We hypothesize that people will be able to coordinate on efficient outcomes, provided they have sufficient...

Does Instrumental Reciprocity Crowd out Prosocial Behavior?
Johnsen, Åshild A.; Kvaløy, Ola - CESifo - 2014
In repeated games, it is hard to distinguish true prosocial behavior from strategic instrumental behavior. In particular, a player does not know whether a reciprocal action is intrinsically or instrumentally motivated. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the relationship between...

Dickinson, David L.; Masclet, David; Villeval, Marie Claire - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014
Do individuals trained in law enforcement punish or reward differently from typical student subjects? We analyze norm enforcement behavior of newly appointed police commissioners in both a Voluntary Contribution Mechanism game and a Common Pool Resource game. Our experimental design includes...

Do Single-Sex Classes Affect Achievement? An Experiment in a Coeducational University
Booth, Alison L; Cardona Sosa, Lina; Nolen, Patrick - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014
We examine the effect of single-sex classes on the pass rates, grades, and continued enrollment of students in a … coeducational university. We randomly assign students to all-female, all-male, and coed classes and, therefore, get around the … selection issues present in studies on single-sex education done on students in primary and secondary school. We find that one …
