Information Characteristics and Errors in Expectations: Experimental Evidence
We design an experiment to test the hypothesis that, in violation of Bayes Rule, some people respond more forcefully to the strength of information than to its weight. We provide incentives to motivate effort, use naturally occurring information, and control for risk attitude. We find that the strength-weight bias affects expectations, but that its magnitude is significantly lower than original...
متن کاملTraders' Expectations in Asset Markets: Experimental Evidence
We elicit traders' predictions of future price trajectories in repeated experimental markets for a 15-period-lived asset. We find that individuals' beliefs aboutprices are adaptive, and primarily based on past trends in the current and previous markets in which they have participated. Most traders do not anticipate market downturns the first time they participate in a market, and, when experien...
متن کاملExperimental Departures from Self-Interest When Competing Partnerships Share Output∗
When every individual’s effort imposes negative externalities, selfinterested behavior leads to socially excessive effort. To curb these excesses when effort cannot be monitored, competing output-sharing partnerships can form. With the right-sized groups, aggregate effort falls to the socially optimal level. We investigate this theory experimentally and find that while it makes correct qualitat...
متن کاملWhen Do Conflicting Parties Share Political Power? an Experimental Study*
We conduct a laboratory experiment to study the incentives of a privileged group to share political power with another group when the two have conflicting interests. There are two groups of participants, the “yellows” and the “blues”. The yellows collectively choose the voting rule for a general election: a simplemajority rule that favors them, or a proportional rule. In two control treatments ...
متن کاملWhen emulation becomes reciprocity.
It is well known that perceiving another's body movements activates corresponding motor representations in an observer's brain. It is nevertheless true that in many situations simply imitating another's actions would not be an effective or appropriate response, as successful interaction often requires complementary rather than emulative movements. At what point does the automatic tendency to mi...
