A New Approach to the Analysis of Cooperation Under the Shadow of the Future : Theory and Experimental Evidence
Kartal, Melis - 2018
The theory of infinitely repeated games lacks predictive power due to equilibrium multiplicity and its insensitivity to … approach, which mitigates the shortcomings of the theory. In particular, we study a standard infinitely repeated prisoner … boost cooperation and coordination on cooperation relative to the standard game, unlike what a theory based on pure material …

Remain Silent and Ye Shall Suffer : Seller Exploitation of Reticent Buyers in an Experimental Reputation System
Gazzale, Robert S.; Khopkar, Tapan - 2008
By providing incentives for sellers to act in a trustworthy manner, reputation mechanisms in many online environments can mitigate moral-hazard problems when particular buyers and sellers interact infrequently. However, these mechanisms rely on buyers sharing their private information about...

Dynamic Incentives and Markov Perfection : Putting the 'Conditional' in Conditional Cooperation
Vespa, Emanuel - 2015
This paper experimentally examines the selection of equilibria in dynamic games. Our baseline treatment is a two-state extension of an indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma, which we modify in series of treatments to study the focality of efficiency and symmetry, the effect dynamic and static...

Do Incentives Work? Success and Payoff Reversals with Rational Agents
Rauber, Tom - 2022
We examine the effects of incentives in a simple model, where a set of rational agents works on a joint task. In the static model, we show that higher incentives (i.e., higher rewards for success) positively affect the success rate and the agents’ payoffs. This is in contrast to the dynamic...

An Experimental Investigation of Reputation Effects of Disclosure in an Investment / Trust Game
Lunawat, Radhika - 2020
This paper examines experimentally the reputation building role of disclosure in an investment / trust game. It provides experimental evidence in support of sequential equilibrium behavior in a finitely repeated investment / trust game where information asymmetry raises the possibility of...
