Transparency, Efficiency and the Distribution of Economic Welfare in Pass-Through Investment Trust Games

Rietz, Thomas; Sheremeta, Roman; Shields, Timothy; … - 2013

We design an experiment to examine behavior and welfare in a multi-level trust game representing a pass through … investment in an intermediated market. In a repeated game, an investor invests via an intermediary who lends to a borrower. A pre-experiment …

Choices About Competition: Differences by gender and hormonal fluctuations, and the role of relative performance feedback.

Wozniak, David - 2009

Economic experiments have shown that when given the choice between piece-rate and winner-take-all tournament style compensation, women are more reluctant than men to choose tournaments. These gender difference experiments have all relied on a similar framework where subjects were not informed of...

The Menstrual Cycle and Performance Feedback Alter Gender Differences in Competitive Choices

Wozniak, David; Harbaugh, William T.; Mayr, Ulrich - 2009

We use a within-subjects experiment with math and word tasks to show that feedback about relative performance moves …

Testing Models of Belief Bias: An Experiment

Coutts, Alexander - 2015

Optimistic beliefs affect important areas of economic decision making, yet direct knowledge on how belief biases … operate remains limited. To better understand these biases I conduct an experiment examining beliefs about binary events with … financial stakes. By varying financial prizes in outcomes, as well as incentive payments for accuracy, the experiment is able to …

Dynamic Unawareness and Rationalizable Behavior

Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard C - 2009

We define generalized extensive-form games which allow for mutual unawareness of actions. We extend Pearce's (1984) notion of extensive-form (correlated) rationalizability to this setting, explore its properties and prove existence. We define also a new variant of this solution concept, prudent...

Du, Songzi - 2009

We study a model of correlated equilibrium where every player takes actions based on his hierarchies of beliefs (belief on what other players will do, on what other players believe about others will do, etc.) intrinsic to the game. Our model does away with messages from outside mediator that are...

Unawareness, Beliefs and Speculative Trade

Heifetz, Aviad; Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard C - 2009

We define a generalized state-space model with interactive unawareness and probabilistic beliefs. Such models are desirable for potential applications of asymmetric unawareness. We compare unawareness with probability zero belief. Applying our unawareness belief structures, we show that the...

Speculative Trade under Unawareness: The Infinite Case

Meier, Martin; Schipper, Burkhard C - 2010

We generalize the "No-trade" theorem for finite unawareness belief structures in Heifetz, Meier, and Schipper (2009) to the infinite case.
