Distributional preferences and competitive behavior☆
We study experimentally the relationship between distributional preferences and competitive behavior. We find that spiteful subjects react strongest to competitive pressure and win in a tournament significantly more often than efficiency-minded and inequality averse subjects. However, when given the choice between a tournament and a piece rate scheme, efficiency-minded subjects choose the tourn...
متن کاملCompetitive hybridization kinetics reveals unexpected behavior patterns.
Although the kinetics of hybridization between a soluble polynucleotide and an immobilized complementary sequence have been studied by others, it is almost universally assumed that the interaction between each probe/target pair can be treated as a separate event. This simplifies the mathematics considerably, but it can give a false picture of the extent of hybridization that one achieves at equ...
متن کاملCompetitive Ion Exchange Behavior on Oxides
Cation adsorption data using MnCl2 and the proton isotherm of a Si oxide were compared with pH as the variable. The cation adsorption data quantitatively correlated with the proton isotherm analysis; the H+/Mn* exchange ratio was 6.0. The presence of adsorption plateaus are due to pH-dependent (step) reactions; this was suggested as the only reasonable explanation for adsorption isotherms cover...
متن کاملMale and Female Competitive Behavior– Experimental Evidence
Male and female choices differ in many economic situations, e.g., on the labor market. This paper considers whether such differences are driven by different attitudes towards competition. In our experiment subjects choose between a tournament and a piecerate pay scheme before performing a real task. Men choose the tournament significantly more often than women. Women are mainly influenced by th...
متن کاملOwnership Structure, Profit Maximization, and Competitive Behavior
We question the broad applicability of the assumption of profit maximization as the goal of the firm and investigate how variance in objective functions across different ownership structures affects competitive behavior. While prior work in agency theory has argued that firms may fail to engage in profit maximizing behaviors due to misalignment between the goals of owners and managers, we conte...
