Collusion in Growing and Shrinking Markets: Empirical Evidence from Experimental Duopolies

Abbink, Klaus; Brandts, Jordi - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2005

We study collusive behaviour in experimental duopolies that compete in prices under dynamic demand conditions. In one treatment the demand grows at a constant rate. In the other treatment the demand declines at another constant rate. The rates are chosen so that the evolution of the demand in...

The Strategic Formation of Networks: Experimental Evidence

Carrillo, Juan D; Gaduh, Arya - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

We use a laboratory experiment to explore dynamic network formation in a six-player game where link creation requires mutual consent. The analysis of network outcomes suggests that the process tends to converge to the pairwise-stable (PWS) equilibrium when it exists and not to converge at all...

Norms, cognitive dissonance, and cooperative behaviour in laboratory experiments

Wichardt, Philipp C. - In: International Journal of Social Economics 39 (2012) May, pp. 342-356

in less or non-social economic contexts, focusing in particular on economic laboratory experiments, and to illustrate the …-social environments as often created in economic laboratory experiments. Moreover, the conditions for cognitive dissonance effects to … common cooperative social norms is difficult to “anonymise away” in laboratory experiments or other less socially focused …

Much Ado About Deception

Barrera, Davide; Simpson, Brent - In: Sociological Methods & Research 41 (2012) 3, pp. 383-413

Social scientists have intensely debated the use of deception in experimental research, and conflicting norms governing the use of deception are now firmly entrenched along disciplinary lines. Deception is typically allowed in sociology and social psychology but proscribed in economics. Notably,...

Compulsory versus Voluntary Voting: An Experimental Study

Duffy, John; Bhattacharya, Sourav; Kim, Sun-Tak - Department of Economics, University of Pittsburgh - 2012

We report on an experiment comparing compulsory and voluntary voting institutions in a voting game with common preferences. Rational choice theory predicts sharp differences in voter behavior between these two institutions. If voting is compulsory, then voters may find it rational to vote...

Experts in experiments

Gaudecker, Hans-Martin; Soest, Arthur; Wengström, Erik - In: Journal of Risk and Uncertainty 45 (2012) 2, pp. 159-190

An ever increasing number of experiments attempts to elicit risk preferences of a population of interest with the aim of calibrating parameters used in economic models. We are concerned with two types of selection effects, which may affect the external validity of standard experiments: Sampling...

A Laboratory Investigation of Rank Feedback in Procurement Auctions

Elmaghraby, Wedad J.; Katok, Elena; Santamaría, Natalia - In: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management 14 (2012) 1, pp. 128-144

A popular procurement auction format is one in which bidders compete during a live auction event but observe only the rank of their own bid and not the price bids of their competitors. We investigate the performance of auctions with rank feedback in a simple setting for which analytical...
