of a Prisoner's Dilemma game. When time preferences are heterogeneous and bounded away from one, how "much" cooperation … can be achieved by an ongoing group? How does group cooperation vary with the group's size and structure? For an arbitrary … distribution of discount factors, we characterize the maximal average co-operation (MAC) likelihood of this game. The MAC …

Gender gaps in income and level of position in the workplace are widespread. One explanation for this inequality is that the genders perform differently under competitive conditions, as previous experimental studies have found a significant gender gap in competitive tasks that are perceived to...

Through a series of decision tasks involving colored cards, we provide separate measures of Bayesian updating and non-probabilistic reasoning skills. We apply these measures to (and are the first to study) a common-value Dutch auction. This format is more salient than the strategically...

The evolution of large-scale cooperation among genetic strangers is a fundamental unanswered question in the social … the endogenous enforcement of cooperation. Insofar as strongly reciprocal players are willing to costly sanction defectors …, cooperation flourishes. However, experimental evidence unambiguously indicates that not only defection and strong reciprocity, but …

Although understanding how multiculturalism shapes society is imperative in today's globalized world, insights on certain behavior domains remain limited, including those on tax compliance among domestic versus foreign taxpayers. Our meta-study of laboratory tax experiments analyzes over 50,000...

Balanced experimental designs, in which the number of treatment and control units are the same, do not maximize power subject to a cost constraint when treat-ment units are more expensive than control ones. Despite this, such balanced designs are the norm in economics. This paper describes...
