Human-algorithm interaction: Algorithmic pricing in hybrid laboratory markets

Normann, Hans-Theo; Sternberg, Martin - 2022

This paper investigates pricing in laboratory markets when human players interact with an algorithm. We compare the degree of competition when exclusively humans interact to the case of one firm delegating its decisions to an algorithm, an n-player generalization of tit-for-tat. We further vary...

Can Communication Mitigate Strategic Delays in Investment Timing?

Mermer, Ayse Gül; Onderstal, Sander; Sonnemans, Joep - 2022

In economic environments, decision-makers may strategically delay irreversible investments to learn from the actions of others creating socially suboptimal outcomes. We investigate if and how communication mitigates the strategic delay in investment timings. Players choose when to invest in a...

Positive and Negative Selection in Bargaining: An Experiment

Chang, Dongkyu; Kim, Duk Gyoo; Lim, Wooyoung - 2022

We consider infinite-horizon bargaining in which an uninformed seller sequentially makes a price offer to a privately informed buyer who decides whether to accept or reject it in every bargaining round. Existing theories suggest that the presence (absence) of an arbitrarily small outside option...

Viable Nash Equilibria: An Experiment

Kim, Duk Gyoo; Min, Daehong; Wooders, John - 2022

This paper examines the usefulness of Kalai (2020)'s measure of the viability of Nash equilibrium. We experimentally study a class of participation games, which differ in the number of players, the success threshold, and the payoff to not participating. We find that Kalai's measure captures well...
