Conducting large, repeated, multi-game economic experiments using mobile platforms

چکیده

We demonstrate the possibility of conducting synchronous, repeated, multi-game economic decision-making experiments with hundreds subjects in-person or remotely live streaming using entirely mobile platforms. Our experiment provides important proof-of-concept that such are not only possible, but yield recognizable results as well new insights, blurring line between laboratory and field experiments. Specifically, our findings from 8 different experimental economics games tasks replicate existing traditional despite fact play those games/task in a specific order regardless whether was conducted person remotely. further leverage large subject population to study effect ( N = 100) versus small 10) group sizes on behavior three scalable we study. While largely consistent for groups, increases size shown matter robustness findings.

Predictive Repeated Game Theory : Measures and Experiments ∗

One of the fundamental results in repeated games is the Folk theorem, which predicts a plethora of equilibrium outcomes. Many have argued that this extreme number of equilibria is a virtue, as it can explain a variety of different behaviors. However, this result leaves us with almost no predictive power. This paper provides measures for evaluating the predictive power of a theory given experime...

Mobile Platforms and Multi-Mobile Platform Development

Mobile devices and mobile applications have a significant effect on the present and on the future of the software industry. The diversity of mobile platforms necessitates the development of the same mobile application for all major mobile platforms, which requires considerable development effort. Mobile application developers are multiplatform developers, but they prioritize the platforms, ther...

Inferring Repeated-Game Strategies From Actions: Evidence From Trust Game Experiments

Combining a strategy model, an inference procedure and a new experimental design, we map sequences of observed actions in repeated games to unobserved strategies that reflect decision-makers’ plans. We demonstrate the method by studying two institutional settings with distinct theoretical predictions. We find that almost all strategies inferred are best responses to one of the inferred strategi...

Experiments to Investigate Video Conversation Quality Enhancements on Mobile Platforms over IP Networks using WebRTC

This project is about implementing and evaluating theWebRTC library for its suitability in enabling mobile video conversations on the iOS operating system. Two video codecs and two protection techniques from the library were evaluated for their effectiveness in providing a good video quality in the conversation. These codecs are called I420 and VP8, and the techniques are called negative acknow...

Conducting interactive experiments online

Online labor markets provide new opportunities for behavioral research, but conducting economic experiments online raises important methodological challenges. This particularly holds for interactive designs. In this paper, we provide a methodological discussion of the similarities and differences between interactive experiments conducted in the laboratory and online. To this end, we conduct a r...
