In the paper I examine in an experiment whether for two different levels of technological spillovers, cooperative R&D behavior voluntarily arises when firms have communication possibilities. It is assumed that in the output market, firms compete `a la Cournot. Experimental results indicate that...

In this paper, we argue that some of the prior parameter distributions used in the literature for the construction of Bayesian optimal designs are internally inconsistent. We rectify this error and provide practical advice on how to properly specify the prior parameter distribution. Also, we...

In this paper, we propose an efficient individually adapted sequential Bayesian approach for constructing conjoint choice experiments. It uses Bayesian updating, a Bayesian analysis and a Bayesian design criterion for generating choice-set-designs for each individual respondent based on previous...
