This article aims to analyse consumers' preferences for Integrated Pest Management (IPM), in comparison to conventional and organic food products. It analyses the case of tomatoes, based on experimental data of 189 French consumers. We find that consumers are more interested in information on...

From the viewpoint of the independence axiom of expected utility theory, an interesting empirical dynamic choice problem involves the presence of a global risk, that is, a chance of losing everything whichever safe or risky option is chosen. In this experimental study, participants have to...

Au cours d'une expérimentation, les auteurs ont étudié l'impact d'une nouvelle information concernant la sécurité alimentaire sur le consentement à payer des individus pour des produits alimentaires. Les prix ont été révélés à travers deux procédures d'enchères : soit des enchères...

We investigate experimentally whether higher trust leads to increased performance by relying on simple trust games. Our results show that trust and performance are positively related but not as strong as suggested in the investment game. As a side result, we observe that the rewards of the...

We study the impact of new information about food safety on subjects' willingness-to-pay for food products, in an experimental setting. We elicit prices using either a second price auction or the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak procedure. There are three stages of bidding. In stage 1, subjects bid for...

We investigate experimentally whether higher trust leads to increased performance by relying on simple trust games. Our results show that trust and performance are positively related but not as strongly as suggested in the investment game. As a side result, we observe that the rewards of the...

In this article we examine the setting up of an eductive type of reasoning process in a negative feedback situation. We analyse a variant of a one-shot beauty contest game. Our results show a reasoning level of around 2 steps of introspection, which is enough to reach rapidly the rational...

We investigate experimentally a new variant of the beauty contest game (BCG) in which players’ actions are strategic substitutes (a negative feedback BCG). Our results show that chosen numbers are closer to the rational expectation equilibrium than in a strategic complements environment...
