Promotions and incentives: the case of multi-stage elimination tournaments

Altmann, Steffen; Falk, Armin; Wibral, Matthias - 2008

of our laboratory experiment is a two-stage tournament in which equilibrium efforts are the same in both stages. We … compare this treatment to a strategically equivalent one-stage tournament and to another two-stage tournament with a more … predictions and compared to the equivalent one-stage tournament. The results for the more convex two-stage tournament show that …

In recent years a large number of experimental studies have documented the existence of strong reciprocity among humans. Strong reciprocity means that people willingly repay gifts and punish the violation of cooperation and fairness norms even in anonymous one-shot encounters with genetically...

Implicit contracts, unemployment, and labor market segmentation

Altmann, Steffen; Falk, Armin; Huffman, David - 2010

We analyze the impact of imperfect contract enforcement on the emergence of unemployment. In an experimental labor market where trading parties can form long-term employment relationships, we compare a work environment where effort is observable, but not verifiable to a situation where explicit...

Money Illusion and Coordination Failure

Fehr, Ernst; Tyran, Jean-Robert - 2004

Economists long considered money illusion to be largely irrelevant. Here we show, however, that money illusion has powerful effects on equilibrium selection. If we represent payoffs in nominal terms, choices converge to the Pareto inefficient equilibrium; however, if we lift the veil of money by...
