Attention Competition

Hefti, Andreas - 2012

I present a game-theoretic model where economic competition and attention competition are interdependent.

Attitudinal and Behavioral Measures of Trust : A New Comparison

Capra, C. Monica - 2008

We revisit the question first raised by Glaeser, et al. (2000): do attitudinal survey questions predict trusting actions in games? We design an experiment where the same set of subjects participates in a series of surveys and games, all meant to capture trust. We find that the answer to the...

Salient Endogenous Social Interactions Effects : An Experimental Investigation

Cartwright, Edward; Singh, Thomas B. - 2013

We experimentally disentangle two potential sources for endogenous social interactions effects. By comparing groups where the group norm is publicly observable with those where it is not we can measure the size of any endogenous observation effect. By comparing connected with disconnected groups...
