Pivotal Suppliers and Market Power in Experimental Supply Function Competition

Brandts, Jordi; Reynolds, Stanley S.; Schram, Arthur - Tinbergen Instituut - 2011

(MUA) model. We find that pivotal suppliers do indeed exercise their market power in the experiments. We also find that …

A Simultaneous Analysis of Turnout and Voting under Proportional Representation: Theory and Experiments

Kamm, Aaron; Schram, Arthur - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

particular they predict (i) a Polarization Effect: reduced strategic party choice when voting is voluntary makes voters more … likely to vote for extreme parties (conditional on voting at all); (ii) an Extremist Effect: voters supporting extreme … world elections. Hence, the interaction between turnout and strategic voting that has been neglected in most of the previous …

Other-regarding Preferences, Group Identity and Political Participation: An Experiment

Robalo, Pedro; Schram, Arthur; Sonnemans, Joep - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

We experimentally study the relationship between other-regarding preferences, group identity and political participation. In doing so, we propose a novel group identity induction procedure that succeeds in creating environments where in-group bias is either high or low. At the individual level,...

Competition and Well-Being

Brandts, Jordi; Riedl, Arno; Winden, Frans van - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004

We study the effects of competition in a context in which people's actions can not be contractually fixed. We find that in such an environment the very presence of competition does neither increase efficiency nor does it yield any payoff gains for the short side of the market. We also find that...

Social Status and Group Norms

Seinen, Ingrid; Schram, Arthur - Tinbergen Instituut - 2001

This paper provides experimental evidence showing that indirect reciprocity may important in economic decision making and in the development of group norms. We study a 'repeated helping game' with random pairing in large groups, with individuals equally divided between donors and recipients....

Superstars need Social Benefits: An Experiment on Network Formation

Leeuwen, Boris van; Offerman, Theo; Schram, Arthur - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

We investigate contributions to the provision of public goods on a network when efficient provision requires the formation of a star network. We provide a theoretical analysis and study behavior in a controlled laboratory experiment. In a 2x2 design, we examine the effects of group size and the...

The Prediction Value

Koster, Maurice; Kurz, Sascha; Lindner, Ines; Napel, Stefan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

We introduce the prediction value (PV) as a measure of players’ informational importance in probabilistic TU games. The latter combine a standard TU game and a probability distribution over the set of coalitions. Player i’s prediction value equals the difference between the conditional...
