Experimental Games on Networks: Underpinnings of Behavior and Equilibrium Selection

Charness, Gary; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, … - 2014

In this paper, we describe a series of laboratory experiments that implement specific examples of a more general network structure and we examine equilibrium selection. Specifically, actions are either strategic substitutes or strategic complements, and participants have either complete or...

The effects of incomplete employee wage information: a cross-country analysis

Polachek, Solomon W.; Xiang, Jun - 2005

In this paper, we define a tractable procedure to measure worker incomplete information in the labor market. The procedure, which makes use of earnings distribution skewness, is based on econometric frontier estimation techniques, and is consistent with search theory. We apply the technique to...

Checchi, Daniele; Filippin, Antonio - 2003

period and individuals are not too risk averse. This paper tests the POUM hypothesis by means of a within subjects experiment … inequality aversion are (partially) controlled for via either the experiment design or the information collected during the … experiment. We find that the POUM hypothesis holds under alternative specifications, even when we control for individual fixed …

Punishing Free-Riders : How Group Size Affects Mutual Monitoring and the Provision of Public Goods

Carpenter, Jeffrey P. - 2004

Because costly punishment is not credible, subgame perfection suggests that punishment will not deter free riding, regardless of the size or structure of groups. However, experiments show that people will punish free riders, even at considerable cost. To examine the implications of agents who...

Coordination Games Played by Children and Teenagers: On the Influence of Age, Group Size and Incentives

Glätzle-Rützler, Daniela; Sutter, Matthias; Zoller, … - 2024

Efficient coordination is a major source of efficiency gains. We study in an experimental coordination game with 718 children and teenagers, aged 9 to 18 years, the strategies played in pre-adulthood. We find no robust age effects in the aggregate, but see that smaller group sizes and larger...
