Cournot Competition Between Teams : an Experimental Study
Raab, Philippe; Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2007
In the economic literature on market competition, firms are often modelled as individual decision makers and the internal organization of the firm is neglected (unitary player assumption). However, as the literature on strategic delegation suggests, one can not generally expect that the behavior...

Co-employment of permanently and temporarily employed agents
Güth, Werner; Kocher, Martin G.; Popova, Vera - 2010
One-shot interaction and repeated interaction often co-exist in the real world. We study possible behavioral effects of this co-existence in a principal-agent setting, in which a principal simultaneously employs a permanent and a temporary agent. Our experimental results indicate that there is...

Co-employment of permanently and temporarily employed agents
Güth, Werner; Kocher, Martin; Angelova, Vera - 2010
One-shot interaction and repeated interaction often co-exist in the real world. We study possible behavioral effects of this co-existence in a principal-agent setting, in which a principal simultaneously employs a permanent and a temporary agent. Our experimental results indicate that there is...

Wage flexibility in ongoing employment relations: an experiment with a stochastic labor market
Berninghaus, Siegfried K.; Bleich, Sabrina; Güth, Werner - 2007
Facing a stochastic market wage, which is independent of their own hiring policy, employers offer contracts specifying fixed wage, revenue share and employment duration. In ongoing employment relations it depends on the treatment whether fixed wages can be only increased or also decreased. Will...

Cournot Competition between Teams: An Experimental Study
Schipper, Burkhard C.; Raab, Philippe - 2004
In the economic literature on market competition, firms are often modeled as single decision makers and the internal organization of the firm is neglected (unitary player assumption). However, as the literature on strategic delegation suggests, one can not generally expect that the behavior of...
