Abbink, Klaus; Herrmann, Benedikt - School of Economics, University of East Anglia - 2009

We introduce the experimental vendetta game. Two groups of four players each interact over ten identical rounds. In each round each player decides whether or not to reduce the payoff of each member of the other group, at an own cost. Reducing payoffs entails no material benefit for either the...

Kriging metamodel management in the design optimization of a CNG injection system

Dellino, G.; Lino, P.; Meloni, C.; Rizzo, A. - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 79 (2009) 8, pp. 2345-2360

This paper deals with the use of Kriging metamodels in multi-objective engineering design optimization. The metamodel management issue to find the tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency is addressed. A comparative analysis of different strategies is conducted for a case study devoted to the...

Attitudes to Ambiguity in One-Shot Normal-Form Games: An Experimental Study

Ivanov, Asen - Department of Economics, School of Business - 2009

Based on an experiment in the lab, we classify behavior in one-shot normal-form games along three important dimensions. The first dimension, which is of main interest, is about whether subjects are ambiguity-loving, ambiguity-neutral, or ambiguity-averse. The second dimension is about whether...

The Effect of Motivations on Social Indirect Reciprocity: an Experimental Analysis

Stanca, Luca; Bruni, Luigino; Mantovani, Marco - Dipartimento di Economia, Metodi Quantitativi e … - 2009

This paper investigates the effects of motivations on the perceived kindness of an action within the context of strong social indirect reci- procity. We test experimentally the hypothesis that, for a given dis- tributional outcome, an action is perceived by a third party to be less kind if it...

Naked exclusion: Towards a behavioral approach to exclusive dealing

Boone, Jan; Müller, Wieland; Suetens, Sigrid - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

We report experimental results on exclusive dealing inspired by the literature on "naked exclusion.'' Our key findings are: First, exclusion of a more efficient entrant is a widespread phenomenon in lab markets. Second, allowing incumbents to discriminate between buyers increases exclusion rates...

Investigating farmers' preferences for the design of agri-environment schemes: a choice experiment approach

Ruto, Eric; Garrod, Guy - In: Journal of Environmental Planning and Management 52 (2009) 5, pp. 631-647

In recent decades agri-environment schemes (AES) have become an increasingly important tool for policy makers aiming to reverse the post-war decline in environmental quality on agricultural land. The voluntary nature of such schemes means that the decision of farmers to participate is central to...
