This paper presents an experimental test of the theory of individual sense of fairness of Karni and Safra (2000). According to this theory individuals' choice among random procedures designed to allocate indivisible goods is motivated, in part, by concern for fairness. The experimental study is...

We present the results of an experiment on learning in a continuous-time low-information setting. For a Cournot oligopoly with differentiated products, a dominance solvable game, we find little evidence of convergence to the Nash equilibrium. In an asynchronous setting, play tends toward the...

We conduct an experiment to investigate the degree to which deviations from exponential discounting can be accounted for by the hypothesis of hyperbolic discounting. Subjects are asked to choose between an earlier or later payoff in a series of 40 choice questions. Each question consists of a...
