Hysteresis in addictive consumption depends on time preferences
Equal division among the few: An experiment about coalition formation and vNM stable set in a three-person game
Statute of Limitations for Tax Evasion
We investigate the effects of retroactive audits and varying statutes of limitations on tax compliance through a laboratory experiment. First, we solve a dynamic model using Bellman's solution to show that longer limitation periods promote compliance by raising expected penalties, as each past period carries a higher probability of inspection. Second, in our experiment, we manipulate the statute of limitations (0, 1, 3, and 6 periods), providing …
The limits of behavioral nudges to increase youth turnout: Experimental evidence from two French elections
There is a significant gap in turnout between young people and older voters. The failure to instill a voting habit at an early age may have long term consequences in terms of future political participation as well as on other civic behaviors. Using a pre-registered online experiment with 3790 subjects, we implemented behavioral interventions aiming to stimulate youth turnout in the 2022 French presidential election. We rely on an innovative incen…
Beliefs and preferences as predictors of prophylactic adherence and lockdown compliance in South Africa
Much of the research on behavioural preferences as predictors of compliance with regulations aimed at reducing the transmission of COVID-19 has focused on developed countries, with very little consideration of African countries. We conduct an online survey (n = 1503) considering beliefs, and individual and social preferences as predictors of compliance with prophylactic measures and lockdown regulations in South Africa. We use incentivized experi…

Does the approval mechanism induce the efficient extraction in common pool resource games
Did Mindful People Do Better during the Covid-19 Pandemic? Mindfulness Is Associated with Well-Being and Compliance with Prophylactic Measures
This paper investigates the relationship between mindfulness and well-being within the context of compliance with prophylactic measures in the time of COVID-19. We conducted a large-scale survey among a representative sample of the French population. We measured mindfulness, using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and the extent to which respondents were impacted by COVID-19 in terms of their mood and quality of sleep, as well as how they co…
Nudging for Lockdown: Behavioral Insights From an Online Experiment
We test the effectiveness of a social comparison nudge (SCN) to enhance lockdown compliance during the COVID-19 pandemic using a French representative sample ( N = 1,154). Respondents were randomly assigned to a favorable/unfavorable informational feedback (daily road traffic mobility patterns, in Normandy – a region of France) on peer lockdown compliance. Our dependent variable was the intention to comply with a possible future lockdown. We cont…
Management of common pool resources in a nation-wide experiment
Prévisions d’analystes financiers et ordre de grandeur des prix: Une approche expérimentale
La littérature récente en comptabilité et en finance montre que le niveau des cours des actions influence les prévisions de prix des analystes (Roger, Roger et Schatt [2018]). Dans le présent article, nous montrons que ce résultat reste valide dans le cadre contrôlé du laboratoire quand des sujets doivent prévoir les prix futurs sur un marché expérimental auquel ils ne participent pas. Chaque sujet fait des prévisions lors de deux marchés success…
Mise en place d’une expérience avec le grand public: Entre recherche, vulgarisation et pédagogie
Nous présentons la mise en place d’une expérience lors d’un événement grand public national, de manière simultanée dans onze villes françaises, en septembre 2015. L’expérience a impliqué plus de 2 700 participants et a duré quatre heures ininterrompues. L’objectif de cet article est à la fois de fournir une feuille de route pour une éventuelle réplication et de penser à la manière dont la discipline peut être utilisée dans des terrains nouveaux (…
Regulatory instruments for monitoring ambient pollution
In a non-point source pollution situation, the regulator is unable to observe individual emissions, implying that conventional corrective policy instruments are not applicable. Collective penalties are efficient instruments for achieving a collective optimum. While such instruments are difficult to implement in the field (because individual performance cannot be taken into account) they represent a major challenge for the design of environmental …
Fixed instruments to cope with stock externalities: An experimental evaluation
We evaluate the effectiveness of non optimal and temporally inconsistent incentive policies for regulating the exploitation of a renewable common-pool resource.The corresponding game is an N-person discrete-time deterministic dynamic game of T periods fixed duration.Three policy instruments with parameters that remain constant for the whole horizon are evaluated: a pigouvian tax (flat tax), an ambient tax (ambient flat tax) and an instrument comb…

L’économie expérimentale
Le prix de la Banque de Suède en sciences économiques en mémoire d'Alfred Nobel décerné en 2002 à Daniel Kahneman et Vernon Smith est venu couronner la montée en puissance de l'économie expérimentale. Aujourd'hui, tous les champs de l'analyse économique sont concernés par l'application de la méthode expérimentale. Celle-ci sert plusieurs objectifs largement complémentaires : tester les théories existantes, stimuler un renouveau de ces théories, a…
Global Environmental Commons: Analytical and Political Challenges in Building Governance Mechanisms
"Environmental challenges, and the potential solutions to address them, have a direct effect on living standards, the organization of economies, major infrastructures, and modes of urbanization. Since the publication of path-breaking contributions on the governance of environmental resources in the early 1990s, many political initiatives have been taken, numerous governance experiments have been conducted, and a large multi-disciplinary field of …

Fair Offers in a Repeated Principal–Agent Relationship with Hidden Actions
We test a repeated principal–agent relationship with hidden actions in the laboratory. At each period, the principal offers payments to the agent in order to induce him to provide the high effort level. The agent can accept or reject the offer; if he accepts it, he can choose the high or the low effort level. We observe that offered payments are higher than predicted by the subgame‐perfect equilibrium, and higher in the partners' than in the stra…
A comparison of trust and reciprocity between France and Germany: Experimental investigation based on the investment game
Utilité espérée "non additive" et observabilité des préférences. Les points de vue de Jacob Marschak et de Paul Samuelson
[eng] Non-additive "expected utility " and observability of preferences: the positions of Jacob Marschak and Paul Samuelson We show that some of the developments of utility theory in the last quarter of the century had been expected to a large extent by Marschak and by Samuelson in their 1950 articles. Both of them investigated the weakening of the independence axiom and reflected on the possibility to test the theory developed by von Neumann and…

La rénovation des fondements de l'utilité et du risque
La rénovation des fondements de l'utilité et du risque La théorie de l'utilité espérée est fondée sur deux hypothèses restrictives qui découlent de l'axiome d'indépendance : 1) les pondérations des utilités sont des probabilités et 2) les utilités des conséquences ne dépendent pas de leurs probabilités. Les contradictions empiriques de l'axiome d'indépendance ont amené à une révision de ces hypothèses et à élargir le champ de la relationalité en …

Préférences dépendantes du contexte: Une analyse expérimentale
Sur la base d'observations expérimentales, nous montrons que le contexte de choix, défini comme l'ensemble des options de choix possibles, exerce une influence déterminante sur les préférences des agents. L'adjonction d'une alternative supplémentaire à un ensemble initial de choix possibles peut conduire les agents à inverser leurs relations de préférence. Cette observation, réalisée dans le cas de comparaisons entre des loteries simples à trois…
Expérimentations sur les choix séquentiels: "Application à " l'effet irréversibilité
[eng] The Irreversibility Effect (IE) predicts that an expected utility maximizer who expects to obtain additional information before his future choices, will choose a "more flexible" (or "less irreversible") position in the current period. Results of an experimental investigation of the IE are presented. The aim of this study was to provide empirical evidence about the IE without making specific assumptions about the agents' behavior. Our result…
