A violation of the monotonicity axiom: experimental evidence on the conjunction fallacy
The conjunction fallacy is an anomaly in human reasoning for which the conjunction of two events is rated more likely to occur than one of the events alone. In the context of decision under uncertainty, this violates the monotonicity axiom of probability, and consequentially also Bayes’ Rule and the monotonicity axiom of preferences. Our experiments show how dynamic feedback and monetary incent...
متن کاملChaotic principle: an experimental test
The chaotic hypothesis discussed in [GC1] is tested experimentally in a simple conduction model. Besides a confirmation of the hypothesis predictions the results suggest the validity of the hypothesis in the much wider context in which, as the forcing strength grows, the attractor ceases to be an Anosov system and becomes an Axiom A attractor. A first test of the new predictions is also attempted.
متن کاملAn Experimental Test of the Pigovian Hypothesis
Implementation of Pigovian taxation relies on the presumption that individuals follow self-interested Nash equilibrium predictions of behavior when making decisions. Experimental evidence indicates that, while Nash predictions perform quite well in impersonal exchange, in other environments, subjects behave in ways inconsistent with these equilibria. The predictive power of game-theoretic resul...
متن کاملAn Experimental Test of Psychic Detection
Most of these claims are supported by only anecdotal evidence. This is unfortunate because it is often extremely difficult to rule out non-psychic explanations. For example, Hoebens (1985) has described how some psychics have made several (often conflicting) predictions relating to an unsolved crime. Once the crime was solved the incorrect predictions were forgotten whilst the correct ones were...
متن کاملAn Experimental Test of Risk-Sharing Arrangements
We investigate risk-sharing without commitment by designing an experiment to match a simple model of voluntary insurance between two agents when aggregate income is constant. Participants are matched in pairs. Each period, they receive their income with or without a random component h that one person or the other receives; after observing own and counterpart income, each person in a pair can de...
