On some geometry and equivalence classes of normal form games
Germano, Fabrizio - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2003
Equivalence classes of normal form games are defined using the geometry of correspondences of standard equilibiurm concepts like correlated, Nash, and robust equilibrium or risk dominance and rationalizability. Resulting equivalence classes are fully characterized and compared across different...

Making the World a better Place: Experimental evidencefrom the generosity Game
Güth, Werner; Levati, Maria Vittoria; Ploner, Matteo - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2009
We study ultimatum and dictator experiments where the first moverchooses the amount of money to be distributed between the playerswithin a given interval, knowing that her own share is fixed. Thus, thefirst mover is faced with scarcity, but not with the typical trade-off betweenher own and the...

Altruism, equity and reciprocity in a gift-exchange experiment: An encompassing approach
Charness, Gary; Haruvy, Ernan - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 1999
Considerable experimental evidence suggests that non-pecuniary motives must be addressed when modeling behavior in economic contexts. Recent models of non-pecuniary motives can be classified as either altruism- based, equity-based, or reciprocity-based. We estimate and compare leading approaches...
