Imitation and the evolution of Walrasian behavior: theoretically fragile but behaviorally robust
Apesteguia, José; Huck, Steffen; Oechssler, Jörg; … - 2008
A well-known result by Vega-Redondo (1997) implies that in symmetric Cournot oligopoly, imitation leads to the … identical actions will be played some fraction of the time in the long run. We then conduct experiments to check this fragility …

The Team Allocator Game : Allocation Power in Public Goods Games
Karakostas, Alexandros; Matzat, Dominik; Riewe, Gerhard; … - 2021
We analyze linear, weakest-link and best-shot public goods games in which a distinguished team member, the team allocator, has property rights over the benefits from the public good and can distribute them among team members. These team allocator games are intended to capture natural asymmetries...

Viable Nash Equilibria : An Experiment
Kim, Duk Gyoo; Min, Daehong; Wooders, John - 2022
This paper examines the usefulness of Kalai (2020)’s measure of the viability of Nash equilibrium. We experimentally study a class of participation games, which differ in the number of players, the success threshold, and the payoff to not participating. We find that Kalai’s measure captures...

Reciprocity and emotions when reciprocators know each other
Reuben, Ernesto; van Winden, Frans - 2006
This is an experimental study of a three-player power-to-take game where a take authority is matched with two responders. The game consists of two stages. In the first stage, the take authority decides how much of the endowment of each responder that is left after the second stage will be...

The Team Allocator Game: Allocation Power in Public Goods Games
Karakostas, Alexandros; Kocher, Martin G.; Matzat, Dominik - 2021
We analyze linear, weakest-link and best-shot public goods games in which a distinguished team member, the team allocator, has property rights over the benefits from the public good and can distribute them among team members. These team allocator games are intended to capture natural asymmetries...

Taxation and market power
Konrad, Kai A.; Morath, Florian; Müller, Wieland - 2009
We analyze the incidence and welfare effects of unit sales taxes in experimental monopoly and Bertrand markets. We find, in line with economic theory, that firms with no market power are able to shift a high share of a tax burden on to consumers, independent of whether buyers are automated or...

study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills … losses from high bids are more salient than in SPAs. Experience in FPAs causes substantial cross-game learning for … bid shading by cognitively more able participants, resulting in lower profits in FPAs. Thus, cross-game learning has the …

Induced Price Leadership and (Counter-)Spying Rivals' Play Under Incomplete Information
Fan, Cuihong - 2019
We analyze spying out a rival’s price in a Bertrand market game with incomplete information. Spying transforms a simultaneous into a robust sequential moves game. We provide conditions for profitable espionage. The spied at firm may attempt to immunize against spying by delaying its pricing...
