Let's Talk: How Communication Affects Contract Design

Brandts, Jordi; Charness, Gary; Ellman, Matthew - CESifo - 2012

We study experimentally how the ability to communicate affects the frequency and effectiveness of flexible and inflexible contracts in a bilateral trade context where sellers can adjust trade quality after observing a post-contractual cost shock and a discretionary buyer transfer. In the absence...

An Experimental Investigation of Alternatives to Expected Utility Using Pricing Data

Morone, Andrea; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2006

Experimental research on decision making under risk has until now always employed choice data in order to evaluate the empirical performance of expected utility and the alternative nonexpected utility theories. The present paper performs a similar analysis which relies on pricing data instead of...

Valuing Protection against Low Probability, High Loss Risks: Experimental Evidence

Morone, Andrea; Ozdemir, Ozlem - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - 2006

The study investigates protective responses in low probability and high loss risk situations. Particularly, it (1) detects individual protection valuations to variations in probability versus to variations in loss for payment decisions and choice decisions, (2) elicits the threshold probability...
