This paper investigates physiological responses to perceptions of unfair pay. In a simple principal agent experiment agents produce revenue by working on a tedious task. Principals decide how this revenue is allocated between themselves and their agents. In this environment unfairness can arise...

This paper explores the equilibrium correspondence of a dynamic quality ladder model with entry and exit using the homotopy method. The homotopy method facilitates exploring the equilibrium correspondence in a systematic fashion; it is ideally suited for investigating the economic phenomena that...

This paper provides a step-by-step guide to solving dynamic stochastic games using the homotopy method. The homotopy method facilitates exploring the equilibrium correspondence in a systematic fashion; it is especially useful in games that have multiple equilibria. We discuss the theory of the...

Learning-by-doing and organizational forgetting have been shown to be important in a variety of industrial settings … behaviour no longer hold in this more general setting. We show that organizational forgetting does not simply negate learning …-by-doing. Rather, learning-by-doing and organizational forgetting are distinct economic forces. In particular, a model with both …

This paper studies how organizational design affects moral outcomes. Subjects face the decision to either kill mice for money or to save mice. We compare a Baseline treatment where subjects are fully pivotal to a Diffused-Pivotality treatment where subjects simultaneously choose in groups of...

A key open question for theories of reference-dependent references is what determines the reference point. One candidate is expectations: what people expect could affect how they feel about what actually occurs. In a real-effort experiment, we manipulate the rational expectations of subjects and...

Laboratory experiments are a widely used methodology for advancing causal knowledge in the physical and life sciences …. With the exception of psychology, the adoption of laboratory experiments has been much slower in the social sciences …, although during the last two decades, the use of lab experiments has accelerated. Nonetheless, there remains considerable …
