Approximate truth of perfectness : an experimental test
Berninghaus, Siegfried; Güth, Werner; King, Li King - 2012
"Approximate truth" refers to the principle that border cases should be analyzed by solving generic cases and solving border cases as limits of generic ones (Brennan et al., 2008). Our study experimentally explores whether this conceptual principle is also behaviorally appealing. To do so, we...

A simple questionnaire can change everything : are strategy choices in coordination games stable?
Berninghaus, Siegfried; Todorova, Lora R.; Vogt, Bodo - 2011
This paper presents results from an experiment designed to study the effect of self reporting risk preferences on strategy choices made in a subsequently played 2 X 2 coordination game. The main finding is that the act of answering a questionnaire about one's own risk preferences significantly...

Learning in networks : an experimental study using stationary concepts
Berninghaus, Siegfried; Neumann, Thomas; Vogt, Bodo - 2011
Our study analyzes theories of learning for strategic interactions in networks. Participants played two of the 2 x 2 games used by Selten and Chmura (2008) and in the comment by Brunner, Camerer and Goeree (2009). Every participant played against four neighbors and could choose a different...
