Reacting to unfairness : group identity and dishonest behavior

Della Valle, Nives; Ploner, Matteo - In: Games 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1-19

We experimentally investigate whether individuals are more likely to engage in dishonest behavior after having experienced unfairness perpetrated by an individual with a salient group identity. Two individuals generate an endowment together, but only one can decide how to share it. They either...

An experimental study of strategic voting and accuracy of verdicts with sequential and simultaneous voting

Anderson, Lisa R.; Holt, Charles A.; Sieberg, Katri K.; … - In: Games 13 (2022) 2, pp. 1-29

In a model of simultaneous voting, Feddersen and Pesendorfer (1998) consider the possibility that jurors vote strategically, rather than sincerely reflecting their individual information. This results in the counterintuitive result that a jury is more likely to convict the innocent under a...

Evidential equilibria : heuristics and biases in static games of complete information

Al-Nowaihi, Ali; Dhami, Sanjit S. - In: Games 6 (2015) 4, pp. 637-676

Standard equilibrium concepts in game theory find it difficult to explain the empirical evidence from a large number of static games, including the prisoner's dilemma game, the hawk-dove game, voting games, public goods games and oligopoly games. Under uncertainty about what others will do in...
