Social Versus Moral Preferences in the Ultimatum Game : A Theoretical Model and an Experiment

Capraro, Valerio - 2018

In the Ultimatum Game (UG) one player, named “proposer”, has to decide how to allocate a certain amount of money between herself and a “responder”. If the offer is greater than or equal to the responder’s minimum acceptable offer (MAO), then the money is split as proposed, otherwise,...

Reconciling Pro-Social vs. Selfish Behavior : Evidence for the Role of Self-Control

Martinsson, Peter; Myrseth, Kristian Ove R.; Wollbrant, … - 2013

We test the proposition that individuals may experience a self-control conflict between short-term temptation to be selfish and better judgment to act pro-socially. Using a dictator game and a public goods game, we manipulated the likelihood that individuals identified self-control conflict, and...

Efficiency and Punishment in a Coordination Game : Voluntary Sanctions in the Minimum Effort Game

Le Lec, Fabrice - 2015

Using a laboratory experiment, we examine whether voluntary monetary sanctions induce subjects to coordinate more efficiently in a repeated minimum effort coordination game. While most groups first experience inefficient coordination in a baseline treatment, the efficiency increases...

Testing for Fictive Learning in Decision-Making Under Uncertainty

Bunn, Oliver - 2013

ambiguous lotteries. In the second experiment the sample averages do not converge.If we define fictive learning in an experiment …, then we expect fictive learning in the first experiment, but no fictive learning in the second experiment. The surprising … finding in this paper is the presence of fictive learning in the second experiment. We attribute this counterintuitive result …

Fictive Learning in Choice under Uncertainty : A Logistic Regression Model

Brown, Donald - 2014

This paper is an exposition of an experiment on revealed preferences, where we posit a novel discrete binary choice model. To estimate this model, we use general estimating equations or GEE. This is a methodology originating in biostatistics for estimating regression models with correlated data....

Discovered Preferences for Risky and Non-Risky Goods

Jacobson, Sarah; Delaney, Jason; Moenig, Thorsten - Economics Department, Williams College - 2014

We develop an axiomatic theory that integrates the discovered preference hypothesis into neoclassical microeconomic choice theory. A theory in which preferences must be discovered through experience can explain patterns observed in choice data, including preference reversals, evolution of or...
