This paper presents statistics of a controlled laboratory gift-exchangegame experiment. These numbers can be used for assumptions about human behavior in analysis of noisy web data. The experiment was described in ‘The Impact of Social Comparisons on Reciprocity’ by Gächter et al. 2012. As already shown in relevant literature from experimental economics, human decisions deviate from rational pa...

This paper is a review of research on the application of laboratory methods to System Dynamics (SD). Although laboratory methods have been used in psychology for many years, our review focuses on the laboratory experiments developed from the experimental economics field and on their contributions to SD and the management sciences. In particular, we examine the use of experimental methods for es...

Abstract. The upstream propagation of knickpoints in river longitudinal profiles is commonly assumed to be related discrete changes tectonics, climate or base level. However, the recognition that some may form autogenically, independent any external perturbation, challenge these assumptions. We investigate here genesis and dynamics such autogenic laboratory experiments at drainage basin scale, ...

Recent laboratory methods developed to generate and to analyze internal waves have revealed important insights that sometimes guide and sometimes challenge theoretical predictions and the results of numerical simulations. Here we focus upon observations of internal waves generated by oscillatory or uniform flow over a solid boundary in a continuously stratified fluid. In the laboratory such flo...
