In incentive-alignment choice experiments, each decision is realized with some prob- ability prob 1. Incentive alignment induces truth telling, i.e., respondents do not consciously lie, given the information they have processed. However, based on the psychological distance literature and the...

Gender differences are often observed in real life-situations. We implement an experiment on the investment game which explores the influence of knowledge of partner's gender in trust and reciprocity by means of two treatments of information: the first one, without knowledge of partner's gender...

Abstract: The decision theory under risk or uncertainty has for object to describe the behavior of agents facing several uncertainty perspectives, waited that every agent is characterized by preferences that are him clean. As it is difficult to describe these preferences exhaustively, we try to...

The decision theory under risk or uncertainty has object to describe the behaviour of agents facing several uncertainty perspectives, waited that every agent is characterized by his own preferences. As it is difficult to describe these preferences exhaustively, we try to represent them: thus,...

This study experimentally tests whether a modification to the centralized quota sales system is capable of lowering the price of the milk quota in Québec, while at the same time minimizing the negative impacts on the auction's efficiency. This modification consists of applying two treatments on...

We make use of experimental economics to examine how people adjust their supply of work effort in response to a variation in tax rates. Participants are paired in the experiment. In each pair, one participant randomly chosen has to exert an effort and is taxed to the benefit of the other...

This experiment evaluates various systems of taxation on the number of real tasks performed by participants and in terms of fiscal income generated to help government in its redistributive goal. The first treatment concerns a proportional system of taxation. The second treatment considers an...
