Strategic behavior in repeated voluntary contribution experiments
We conduct a repeated VCM (voluntary contribution mechanism) experiment using the strategy method. We compare a partner and a stranger design and find that participants in the partner treatment provide (i) higher initial contributions, (ii) higher contributions on average over all periods, and (iii) contributions that do not vary more strongly with past contributions than participants in the st...
متن کاملCommunication and Punishment in Voluntary Contribution Experiments
We compare two devices previously found to increase contributions to public goods in laboratory experiments: communication, and punishment (allowing subjects to engage in costly reductions of one another’s earnings after learning of their contribution decisions). We find that communication increases contributions more than punishment, and, taking into account the cost of punishment, only commun...

متن کاملSophisticated EWA Learning and Strategic Teaching in Repeated Games
Most learning models assume players are adaptive (i.e., they respond only to their own previous experience and ignore others' payo® information) and behavior is not sensitive to the way in which players are matched. Empirical evidence suggests otherwise. In this paper, we extend our adaptive experienceweighted attraction (EWA) learning model to capture sophisticated learning and strategic teach...

Repeated trials are often employed in economics experiments. The rationale is that by allowing respondents to `practice' in the (often unusual) market situations in which experiments place them, they are given the opportunity to re®ne their responses to more accurately re ̄ect their preferences. This paper presents the results of a pilot experiment in which repeated trials are used to elicit and...
