scheme and investigate the effects of communication, an aspect typically assumed to be irrelevant by theory. We consider … communication among individual participants competing in a TDR system and team decision-making facilitated by face …-to-face communication. We find the system to be quite efficient, despite overshooting certificate prices particularly in the beginning for …

The paper reports an experimental study based on a variant of the popular Chinos game, which is used as a simple but paradigmatic instance of observational learning. There are three players, arranged in sequence, each of whom wins a fixed price if she manages to guess the total number of coins...

We study the effectiveness of social learning when subjects can also learn individually. In the baseline treatment, a subject observes a sequence of private signals about an unknown state of the world and chooses an action to match the state. In the unilateral social learning treatment, a...
