Social comparisons and reference group formation: Some experimental evidence
We investigate reference group formation and the impact of social comparisons on ultimatum bargaining using a laboratory experiment. Three individuals compete in a real-e¤ort task for the role of the proposer in a three-player ultimatum game. The role of the responder is randomly allocated. The third individual receives a xed payment our treatment variable and makes no decision. The existence ...
متن کاملSocial Comparisons in Wage Delegation: Experimental Evidence
We make two contributions in this article. First, we examine whether social comparisons have behavioral effects on workers’ performance when a firm can choose workers’ wages or let them choose their own. Firms can delegate the wage decision to neither, one or both workers in the firm. We vary the information workers receive, finding that social comparisons concerning both wages and decision rig...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Elastic and plastic splines: some experimental comparisons
We give some empirical comparisons between two nonparametric regression methods based on regularization: the elastic or thin-plate splines, and plastic splines based on total variation penalties. 1. Nonparametric regression with elastic and plastic splines We seek f to fit the dependence of response points zi ∈ R on two-dimensional covariates (xi, yi) living in the domain Ω. To this end, we emp...
متن کاملContract Enforcement, Social Efficiency, and Distribution: Some Experimental Evidence
We use economic experiments to investigate how different contract enforcement regimes affect efficiency and the distribution of surplus in vertically coordinated markets where contractors have market power. We find that if a third party (e.g. government) provides full enforcement of contracts, social efficiency is enhanced. Surprisingly, we find when enforcement is completely absent, social eff...
