Social interactions predominantly take place under the shadow of the future. Previous literature explains cooperation in indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma as predominantly driven by self-interested strategic considerations. This paper provides a causal test of the importance of social...

A growing experimental literature studies the endogenous choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems arising in prisoners' dilemmas, public goods games, and common pool resource games. Participants in these experiments have the opportunity to influence the rules of the game before they...

We explore the stability of imitation in a 1,200-period experimental Cournot game where subjects do not know the payoff function but see the output quantities and payoffs of each oligopolist after every period. In line with theoretical predictions and previous experimental findings, our...

We study long-run learning in an experimental Cournot game with no explicit information about the payoff function. Subjects see only the quantities and payoffs of each oligopolist after every period. In line with theoretical predictions and previous experimental findings, duopolies and...

In symmetric binary-choice coordination games, the global-game selection (GGS) has been proven to predict a high … the fraction of players choosing either action. This paper presents an experiment on asymmetric games in which the GGS …

Our results indicate that the signal associated to the highest or second highest … response time at the beginning of the experiment are both unbiased estimates of the threshold employed by subjects at the end … of the experiment. This predictive ability is lost when we move to the third or higher response times. Moreover, the …
