Abstract In this paper we study the effi ciency properties of natural language used as a
communication device in what we call Announcement Games. An Announcement game is a
cheap) talk game, in which an VAnnouncerV upon privately observing the value of the ...

Abstract This paper employs a new experimental design to provide insight into strategic
choice in one shot games. We incentivize and observe provisional choices in the 2/3
guessing game in the period after the structure of the game has been communicated. ...

Abstract We consider a game where one player, the Announcer, has to communicate the
value of payoff relevant state of the world to a set of other players who play a coordination
game with multiple equilibria. While everyone, the Announcer and the players, agree that ...

Abstract When the performances of agents are correlated (because of a common random
component) contracts that use information on both the relative and absolute performance of
agents theoretically outperform rank-order tournaments and piece-rate schemes. Although ...

Abstract: We use laboratory experiments to test for one of the foundations of the rational
voter paradigm-that voters respond to probabilities of being pivotal. We exploit a setup that
entails stark theoretical effects of information concerning the preference distribution (as ...

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of the competition for funds in capital markets on
the risk taking behavior of fund managers. In doing this we find what we call an lOther
Peopleks Moneymeffect, or a tendency of people to invest the funds of others in riskier ...

Abstract One of the responsibilities of political leaders is to transmit information about states
of the world that he/she observes to their followers in a way that facilitates coordination. This
task is composed of two parts. One is a strategic component in which the leader attempts ...

Abstract In this paper we experimentally investigate the impact that competing for funds has
on the risk $ taking behavior of laboratory hedge fund managers. We construct a simple
laboratory market for capital among hedge funds where each fund offers a contract that ...

Abstract Rank-order tournaments are known for their property of filtering out common
shocks. However, the realized payoffs of the agents are discontinuous in the level of exerted
effort. This feature produces complicated behavioral effects that have been studied ...

Abstract We present an incomplete information model of two# stage electoral competition in
which candidates can choose different platforms in primaries and general elections. Voters
do not directly observe the chosen platforms, but rather infer the candidatesj ideologies ...

Abstract When risk-averse agents' outputs are correlated, using relative performance
information can improve the trade-off between incentives and risk-sharing. The experimental
work that tests this idea has mainly focused on either rank-order tournaments, in which ...
