Economic incentives and social preferences: substitutes or complements? (2012, background): “[42] Herrmann et al. (2008a) 16 student pools around the world (1120) Public Goods Game (Partner) • Monetary Costly Punishment Cooperation is higher in the punishment condition.”
Overbidding and Heterogeneous Behavior in Contest Experiments (2013, unknown): “Specifically, we have suggested that subjects have otherregarding preferences, which are correlated with efforts in contests (Herrmann and Orzen, 2008; Balafoutas et al., 2012; Mago et al., 2012); and therefore, differences in these preferences can explain heterogeneous behavior of contestants.”
A survey of experimental research on contests, all-pay auctions and tournaments (2014, background): “…for the prize of zero also exert higher efforts for the positive monetary prize of 120 (correlation coefficient of 0.38).2 The second reason for overbidding is that, in addition to the utility from winning, subjects care about their relative payoffs (Herrmann and Orzen 2008; Mago et al. 2014).”
Endogenous entry in contests (2012, background): “In the first experimental market entry games, Kahneman (1988) found that the number of entrants was very close to the number predicted by theory.”
Resource Allocation Contests: Experimental Evidence (2013, unknown): “…been subject to extensive experimental scrutiny (Davis and Reilly, 1998; Potters et al., 1998; Tong and Leung, 2002; Anderson and Stafford, 2003; Herrmann and Orzen, 2008; Nieken and Sliwka, 2010; Sheremeta and Zhang, 2010, Price and Sheremeta, 2011, 2013; Lim et al., 2012; Morgan et al., 2012).”
SIMULTANEOUS DECISION‐MAKING IN COMPETITIVE AND COOPERATIVE ENVIRONMENTS (2013, background): “Similarly, Grund and Sliwka (2005) and Herrmann and Orzen (2008) show that disadvantageous inequity aversion should cause subjects to bid more in the lottery contest in order to avoid a We conclude, therefore, that the negative correlation between bids and contributions can be explained by social…”
Experimental comparison of multi-stage and one-stage contests (2009, background): “First, the endowment was chosen to be equal to the prize value to be consistent with other studies (Anderson and Stafford, 2003; Herrmann and Orzen, 2008).”
