Tropic Trust versus Nordic Trust: Experimental Evidence from Tanzania and Sweden
Danielson, Anders; Holm, Hakan J - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2003
Undergraduates in Tanzania and Sweden participated in one Trust game, one Dictator game, and answered a standard set of survey questions relating to trust. In both countries we detected a strong and significant relation between Dictator donations and proportions returned in Trust games, which...

Trust in the Tropics? Experimental Evidence from Tanzania
Danielson, Anders; Holm, Hakan J - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2002
Undergraduates in Tanzania were exposed to one Trust game, one Dictator game and a standard set of survey questions relating to trust. We demonstrate that the survey questions neither predicts trust behavior nor trustworthiness as previously claimed by Glaeser et al. (2000). It is also shown...

Intra-Generational Trust - a Semi-Experimental Study of Trust Among Different Generations
Holm, Håkan; Nystedt, Paul - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2002
From a public database in Sweden we obtained a subject pool consisting of one group 20 years old and another group that was exactly 50 years older. The groups participated in a mail-based trust game. In the trust game the young cohort exhibited significantly more trust than the old cohort did....

An Experimental Study of Storable Votes
Casella, Alessandra; Gelman, Andrew; Palfrey, Thomas R. - California Institute of Technology, Division of the … - 2003
The storable votes mechanism is a method of voting for committees that meet periodically to consider a series of binary … implementation. In our experiments, realized efficiency levels were remarkably close to theoretical equilibrium predictions, while …

The dynamics of distributive politics
Battaglini, Marco; Palfrey, Thomas R. - 2007
We study dynamic committee bargaining over an infinite horizon with discounting. In each period a committee proposal is generated by a random recognition rule, the committee chooses between the proposal and a status quo by majority rule, and the voting outcome in period t becomes the status quo...

We study dynamic committee bargaining over an infinite horizon with discounting. In each period a committee proposal is generated by a random recognition rule, the committee chooses between the proposal and a status quo by majority rule, and the voting outcome in period t becomes the status quo...

Bargaining in the presence of condorcet cycles : the role of asymmetries
Kamm, Aaron; Houba, Harold - 2015
This paper reports results from a laboratory experiment studying the role of asymmetries, both in payoffs and recognition probabilities, in a model of strategic bargaining with Condorcet cycles. Overall, we find only limited support for the equilibrium predictions. The main deviations from...

The Impact of Sleep Restriction on Contributions and Punishment: First Evidence
Clark, Jeremy; Dickinson, David L. - 2017
We implement a one-week partial sleep restriction protocol to investigate the effect of sleep deprivation on joint production in a standard voluntary contributions mechanism (VCM) experiment. Additionally, the effect of sleep restriction on an individual's likelihood of sending costly peer...
