Abstract:

Experimental economics has been developed in relatively recent years. Thanks to its power to bridge economic theory and observation, the experimental method has become increasingly widespread in the last two decades. As we know, economic theories are devised to explain economic activities and have traditionally been evaluated with statistical data from existing "atural" markets. Although econometricians can deal with the effects of interrelated variables of interest, natural data often fail to have "critical tests" of theoretical propositions and sometimes do not satisfy assumptions in the ec

Abstract:

The rise of behavioural economics has prised loose the abstract constructs of subjective expected utility theory, beliefs and utility functions, bringing them to life as separate, measurable objects. The first of these objects, beliefs, forms the common thread that connects the chapters of this dissertation, binding the pieces into a coherent whole. The central themes explored in the three chapters of this dissertation include belief formation, the measurement of beliefs, and the mapping from beliefs into behaviour. Chapter 1 offers an overview of the three papers. Chapter 2 studies the descri

Abstract:

Human behavior is incredibly complex, but it drives how our society functions. Economists have recently taken greater interest in understanding the decisions that people make, rather than prescribing optimal actions to take. The first two chapters of this dissertation contribute to the field of behavioral economics by using incentivized and unambiguous settings to determine if people base their decisions, in part, on sunk costs. Though standard economic theory would insist that sunk costs do not matter, I find that, at least in small stakes, sunk costs have about 10% the effect on decisions as

Abstract:

There was a time when the conventional wisdom was that, because economics is a science concerned with complex, naturally occuring systems, laboratory experiments had little to offer economists. But experimental economics has now become a well-established tool that plays an important role in helping game theory bridge the gap between the study of ideally rational behavior modeled in theory and the study of actual "real-world" behavior of agents. Although it has older antecedents, experimental economics is a fairly new line of work, having originiated more or less contemporaneously with game the

Results show that the fundamental value trend plays a more critical role.

Shortly after the introduction of Expected Utility Theory (EUT), economists and psychologists began publishing results that showed choices made by experimental subjects which apparently violate one or more of the EUT axioms. I discuss economists' responses to this evidence. These vary from developing new theoretical models, models that nest EUT as a special case, such as Rank Dependent Utility (RDU) and Regret Theory, as well as models that do not nest EUT, such as Cumulative Prospect Theory, to critiques of experimental methods and scope, to the promotion of stochastic models of choice.

In each case, preferences and institutions interact in ways that enhance or subvert efficiency.

The ability to practice targeted reciprocity increases contributions by 14%, which corresponds directly to increased efficiency.

In Chapter 2, I study the effects of in-kind versus cash transfers on the welfare of poor households in rural Mexico. Using data from a program which randomly transferred either a food basket or cash, I estimate a demand system and use it to simulate welfare under both subsidies. Results suggest that transfers in-kind are valued by recipients at

Addiction is an ideal puzzle for economic theory: why do most addicts expend resources to acquire their targets of addiction but then incur real costs to try and reduce or limit their consumption of these goods? Furthermore, why is the typical course of addiction characterised by repeated unsuccessful attempts to quit prior to final abstention? From the standpoint of standard consumer theory in economics these patterns of behaviour are difficult to rationalise. There is a rich theoretical literature in economics which models habit-forming behaviours, of which addiction is the exemplar, but the
