A principal can influence agent’s actions through monetary transfers (Mechanism Design) or Bayesian persuasion (Information Design). We provide an experimental comparison of these incentive structures using theoretically equivalent games. Behavior in Information Design is in line with the...

Most large-scale economic experiments use a between-subjects random incentive system-BRIS-which selects a subset of the participants at random and offers real payment only to the selected participants. We evaluate the relative impact of nominal payoffs and the selection probability on the...
