In this experiment, the authors analyze strategic delegation in a Cournot duooly. Owners can choose among two different contracts which determine their managers' salaries. One contract simply gives managers incentives to maximize firm profits, while the second contract gives an additional sales...

We analyse behavior in lottery choice problems that assign payoffs to the decision maker and one other subject. Lotteries are based on randomly generated 2x2 games where the column player’s choice is replaced by a draw from an urn. We find that the vast majority of subjects displays behavior...

We use a public-good experiment to analyze behavior in a decentralized asymmetric punishment institution. The institution is asymmetric in the sense that players differ in the effectiveness of their punishment. At the aggregate level, we observe remarkable similarities between outcomes in...
