We analyze the effects of ostracism on cooperation in a linear public good experiment with fixed partner design. Our results show that introducing ostracism increases contribution levels significantly except in first and last periods. Despite reductions in group size due to ostracism, the net...

We experimentally study the effect of asymmetry on cooperation in a 40 period prisoner's dilemma game in fixed partner design. We distinguish between a high and low payoff symmetric prisoner's dilemma and an asymmetric game combined out of both symmetric ones. Asymmetry significantly decreases...

We experimentally investigate purchase decisions with linear and non-linear pricing under risk. The experiment is based on a single period stochastic inventory problem with endogenous cost. It extends classic binary lottery experiments to test standard decision theoretic predictions concerning...

German Abstract: Die politische Zielsetzung der Klimaneutralität im Jahr 2050 bedarf einer effizienten Umsetzung. Das europäische Zertifikatesystem (EU-ETS) ist dazu allerdings nicht in der Lage und wird mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit die notwendige Ausdehnung auf den Transportsektor und...

This article discusses two elements that the draft EU Directive on actions for damages treats only perfunctorily. The first concerns lucrum cessans or the quantity effect which is found to be of a relatively higher magnitude than the price effect. The second concerns the difficulties of...
