Apesteguia, Jose; Huck, Jose; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Imitation - Theory and Experimental Evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10019, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:5pL5x5wCWhIWWBXoTb46LA== [fileUNF]
We introduce a generalized theoretical approach to study imitation and subject it to rigorous experimental testing. In our theoretical analysis we find that the different predictions of previous imitation models are mainly explained by different informational assumptions, and to... |

Huck, Steffen; Normann, Hans-Theo; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Stability of the Cournot Process - Experimental Evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10014, heiDATA, V1
We report results of experiments designed to test the predictions of the best-reply process. In a Cournot oligopoly with four firms, the best-reply process should theoretically explode if demand and cost functions are linear. We find, however, no experimental evidence of such ins... |

Huck, Steffen; Normann, Hans-Theo; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Learning in Cournot Oligopoly - An Experiment [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10012, heiDATA, V1
This experiment was designed to test various learning theories in the context of a Cournot oligopoly. We derive theoretical predictions for the learning theories and test these predictions by varying the information given to subjects. The results show that some subjects imitate s... |

Becker, Johannes G.; Damianov, Damian S.; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Uniform vs. discriminatory auctions with variable supply – experimental evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10013, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:JkjthKWUQF+SGftTh1TTyg== [fileUNF]
In the variable supply auction considered here, the seller decides how many customers with unit demand to serve after observing their bids. Bidders are uncertain about the seller's cost. We experimentally investigate whether a uniform or a discriminatory price auction is better f... |

Trautmann, Stefan T.; Van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2014, "Ambiguity attitudes [Supplemental material]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10011, heiDATA, V2
The handbook chapter reviews experimental methods to measure ambiguity attitudes, as well as the recent experimental evidence regarding these attitudes. The data file contains background data that form the basis of Table 1 in the chapter. |
Kocher, Martin G.; Pahlke, Julius; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2014, "Tempus Fugit: Time Pressure in Risky Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10006, heiDATA, V2
We study the effects of time pressure on risky decisions for pure gain prospects, pure loss prospects, and mixed prospects involving both gains and losses. In two experiments we find that time pressure has no effect on risk attitudes for gains, but increases risk aversion for los... |
Dominiak, Adam; Dürsch, Peter; Lefort, Jean-Philippe, 2014, "A dynamic Ellsberg urn experiment [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10005, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:6SM6f4NWdacC70zww1ngbA== [fileUNF]
Abstract Many theories of updating under ambiguity assume either dynamic consistency or consequentialism to underpin behaviorally the link between conditional and unconditional preferences. To test the descriptive validity of these rationality concepts, we conduct a dynamic exten... |
Noussair, Charles N.; Trautmann, Stefan T.; Kuilen, Gijs van de, 2014, "Higher Order Risk Attitudes, Demographics, and Financial Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10009, heiDATA, V4, UNF:5:aqNKYHh13jVE5RIy7gdN5w== [fileUNF]
We study the prevalence of the higher order risk attitudes of prudence and temperance in an experiment with a large demographically representative sample of participants. Under expected utility, prudence and temperance are defined by a convex first, and concave second, derivative... |
