Existing experimental studies (Cooper, DeJong, Forsythe and Ross, 1993; Shahriar, 2009) have shown that an outside option, when offered to one of the two players who later participate in a battle-of-the-sexes game, makes the equilibrium that favors the same player focal. This focal point arises even...

We investigate the implications of waiting time on the decision to punish in a power-to-take experiment. We find that …

We compare behavior in a one-shot Centipede game across several payoff structures including nonlinear payoff tournaments. Assuming Nash to be optimal, results suggest nonlinear tournament payoffs based on overall relative rewards are not sufficient to increase Nash results in the one-shot...

This paper experimentally investigates the effect of limits on campaign expenditure and outcome in an electoral contest where two candidates, an incumbent and a challenger, compete for office in terms of the amount of campaign expenditure. The candidates are asymmetric only in that the incumbent...

We conduct an experiment with a three player 2x2x2 game in which coordination on the efficient equilibrium is …In a coordination game with Pareto-ranked equilibria, we study whether a sunspot can lead to either coordination on an … inferior equilibrium (mis-coordination) or to out-of equilibrium behavior (dis-coordination).

We examine the sensitivity of the dictator game to information provided to subjects. We investigate if individuals internalize completely irrelevant information about players when making allocation decisions. Subjects are provided with their score and the scores of recipients on a quiz prior to...
