Belief Formation in a Signalling Game Without Common Prior : An Experiment

Possajennikov, Alex - 2013

Using belief elicitation, the paper investigates the formation and the evolution of beliefs in a signalling game in which a common prior on Sender's type is not induced. Beliefs are elicited about the type of the Sender and about the strategies of the players. The experimental subjects often...

Cross-Game Learning and Cognitive Ability in Auctions

Giebe, Thomas; Kocher, Martin; Schudy, Simeon; … - 2021

Overbidding in second-price auctions (SPAs) has been shown to be persistent and associated with cognitive ability. We study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills. Employing an order-balanced design, we use...

Communication-enhancing vagueness

Wood, Daniel H. - In: Games 13 (2022) 4, pp. 1-27

I experimentally investigate how vague language changes the nature of communication in a biased strategic information transmission game. Counterintuitively, when both precise and imprecise messages can be sent, in aggregate, senders are more accurate, and receivers trust them more than when only...

Choosing between causal interpretations : an experimental study

Ambuehl, Sandro; Thysen, Heidi C. - 2024

Good decision-making requires understanding the causal impact of our actions. Often, we only have access to correlational data that could stem from multiple causal mechanisms with divergent implications for choice. Our experiments comprehensively characterize choice when subjects face...

Di Cagno, Daniela; Güth, Werner; Lohse, Tim; Marazzi, … - 2023

We modify the Acquiring-a-Company game to study lying in ultimatum bargaining. Privately informed sellers send messages about the alleged value of their company to potential buyers. Via random information leaks, buyers can learn the true value before proposing a price which the seller finally...
