The Framing of Games and the Psychology of Play

Hennig-Schmidt, Heike - University of Bonn, Germany - 2008

Psychological game theory can help provide a rational choice explanation of framing effects; frames influence beliefs, beliefs influence motivations. We explain this theoretically, and explore the empirical relevance experimentally. In a 2×2 design of one-shot public good games we show that...

The Framing of Games and the Psychology of Play

Dufwenberg, Martin; Gaechter, Simon; Hennig-Schmidt, Heike - University of Bonn, Germany - 2010

Psychological game theory can provide rational-choice-based framing effects; frames influence beliefs, beliefs influence motivations. We explain this theoretically and explore empirical relevance experimentally. In a 2×2 design of one-shot public good games we show that frames affect...

Experimenting over a Long Distance - A method to facilitate intercultural experiments

Walkowitz, Gari; Oberhammer, Clemens; Hennig-Schmidt, Heike - University of Bonn, Germany - 2004

interactive experiments in geographically separated subject pools. Applying ELD to an intercultural trust experiment with … participants from Argentina, China and Germany we found a striking evidence for transcontinental trust behavior. In addition to … Chinese senders’ discrimination of Argentinean players no discrimination in trust and reciprocity behavior was observed …

Moral Norms in a Partly Compliant Society

Kranz, Sebastian - University of Bonn, Germany - 2006

This paper analyses competition of moral norms and institutions in a society where a fixed share of people unconditionally complies with norms and the remaining people act selfishly. Whether a person is a norm-complier or selfish is private knowledge. A model of voting-by-feet shows that those...

Envy Freeness in Experimental Fair Division Problems

Herreiner, Dorothea K.; Puppe, Clemens - University of Bonn, Germany - 2004

In the recent experimental literature several social preference models have been suggested that address observed behavior not reducible to the pursuit of self-interest. Inequality aversion is one such model where preferences are distributional. Frequently, envy is suggested as the underlying...

The Moonlighting Game - An Experimental Study on Reciprocity and Retribution

Abbink, Klaus; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Renner, Elke - University of Bonn, Germany - 1997

We introduce the moonlighting game. Player A can take money from or pass money to player B, who can either return money or punish player A. One-shot experiments were performed on this game. Treatments were conducted with and without making non-binding agreements beforehand. The results refute...

Sabotage in Asymmetric Contests – An Experimental Analysis

Harbring, Christine; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Kräkel, Matthias; … - University of Bonn, Germany - 2004

In a contest players compete for winning a prize by effort and thereby increasing their probability of winning. Contestants, however, could also improve their own relative position by harming the other players. We experimentally analyze contests with heterogeneous agents who may individually...

Learning in experimental 2×2 games

Goerg, Sebastian J.; Chmura, Thorsten; Selten, Reinhard - University of Bonn, Germany - 2008

In this paper we introduce four new learning models: impulse balance learning, impulse matching learning, action-sampling learning, and payoff-sampling learning. With this models and together with the models of self- tuning EWA learning and reinforcement learning, we conduct simulations over 12...
