Imitation : theory and experimental evidence

Apesteguia, Jose; Huck, Steffen; Oechssler, Joerg - 2003

We introduce a generalized theoretical approach to study imitation models and subject themodels to rigorous … experimental testing. In our theoretical analysis we find that the differentpredictions of previous imitation models are due to …. In alaboratory experiment we test the different theories by systematically varying informationconditions. We find that …

Cross-game learning and cognitive ability in auctions

Giebe, Thomas; Ivanova-Stenzel, Radosveta; Kocher, Martin; … - 2021

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 …

The team allocator game : allocation power in public goods games

Karakostas, Alexandros; Kocher, Martin; 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...

Conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion

Cubitt, Robin P.; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015

We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

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 well...

Supply function competition, private information, and market power : a laboratory study

Bayona, Anna; Brandts, Jordi; Vives, Xavier - 2016

In the context of supply function competition with private information, we test in the laboratory whether - as predicted in Bayesian equilibrium - costs that are positively correlated lead to steeper supply functions and less competitive outcomes than do uncorrelated costs. We find that the...
