Experimental stock markets containing only a single asset tend to generate bubble-crash patterns even when the fundamental value is easy to calculate (Smith et al., 1988). I present an experimental design containing one risky asset (dividend-paying stock) and one riskless asset (interest-paying...

Directed technological change (DTC) hinges on how stocks of factor-augmenting knowledge evolve relative to each other, which depends in turn on the nature of the links between them. We analyse these links in an analytical model focusing explicitly on the relative knowledge stock: in the process we...

In an otherwise neutrally described Prisoners‟ dilemma experiment, we document that be-havior is more likely to be cooperative when the game is called the Community Game than when it is called the Stock Market Game. However, the difference vanishes when only one of the subjects is in control of...

We examine the effect of the Amnesty Plus policy on the incentives of firms to engage in cartel activities. Amnesty Plus is aimed at attracting leniency applications by encouraging firms, convicted in one market, to report their collusive agreements in other markets. It has been vigorously...
