In this paper, we analyze a principal's optimal feedback policy in tournaments. We close a gap in the literature by assuming the principal to be unable to commit to a certain policy at the beginning of the tournament. Our analysis shows that in equilibrium the principal reveals intermediate...

This paper reports an option pricing experiment on the binomial model, which has been conducted with professional traders of financial assets. The experimental results are compared to a corresponding experiment with students. The data show that professional traders achieve lower arbitrage...

Opinion is divided on whether it is better to have a single world   money or variable exchange rates.  Pope, Selten and von Hagen (2003)   propose that fresh light would be shed via an analysis that allows   for seven complexity impacts on the exchange rate that are   underplayed...

This paper experimentally explores group decision-making in a two-player power-to-take game. Discussions preceding group decisions are video taped and analyzed. Each subject first earns an income in an individual effort task preceding the game. The game consists of two stages. First, one group...

The paper traces the dangers in the closed economy perspective of a   monetary policy focused on a domestic inflation goal under a clean   float.  Field evidence of the damage wrought from this perspective is   reinforced by that from a laboratory experiment.  The laboratory  ...

Myopic loss aversion (MLA) has been established as one prominent explanation for the equity premium puzzle. In this paper we address two issues related to the effects of MLA on risky investment decisions. First, we assess the relative impact of feedback frequency and investment flexibility (via...
