Testing static game theory with dynamic experiments : a case study of public goods
Botelho, Anabela; Harrison, Glenn W.; Pinto, Lígia; Rutström, Elisabet E.Game theory provides predictions of behavior in many one-shot games. On the other hand, most experimenters usually play repeated games with subjects, to provide experience. To avoid subjects rationally employing strategies that are appropriate for the repeated game, experimenters typically employ a “random strangers” design in which subjects are randomly paired with others in the session. There is some chance t...
Social norms and social choice
Botelho, Anabela; Harrison, Glenn W.; Pinto, Lígia; Rutström, Elisabet E.Experiments can provide rich information on behavior conditional on the institutional rules of the game being imposed by the experimenter. We consider what happens when the subjects are allowed to choose the institution through a simple social choice procedure. Our case study is a setting in which sanctions may or may not be allowed to encourage “righteous behavior.” Laboratory experiments show that some subjec...
Discounting in developing countries : a pilot experiment in Timor-Leste
Botelho, Anabela; Harrison, Glenn W.; Pinto, Lígia; Rutström, Elisabet E.; Veiga, Paula AlexandraWe conduct laboratory experiments in Timor-Leste designed to test if individual discount rates vary with the time horizon for which the rate is elicited. Our experiments test a design that has been successfully employed in field experiments in developed countries, and that avoids several confounds of previous procedures. We find that there is onsiderable heterogeneity in individual discount rates, and that thi...
Bargaining behavior, demographics and nationality : a reconsideration of the ex...
Botelho, Anabela; Harrison, Glenn W.; Hirsch, Marc; Elisabet, RutströmBargaining behavior appears to vary across nations. What drives these apparent differences? We reconsider the evidence provided by previous experiments, and undertake some new experiments that expand the controls for demographics. We show that inferences about country effects are sensitive to the way in which the data are analyzed and the controls that are incorporated. Separating out differences in initial beh...
Multilateral negotiations over climate change policy
Pinto, Lígia; Harrison, Glenn W.Negotiations in the real world have many features which tend to be ignored in policy modeling. They are often multilateral, involving many negotiating parties with preferences over outcomes that can differ substantially. They are also often multidimensional, in the sense that several policies are negotiated over simultaneously. Trade negotiations are a prime example, as are negotiations over environmental polic...
