An Experiment on Risk Taking and Evaluation Periods
Uri Gneezy,Jan Potters +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that the more frequently returns are evaluated, the more risk averse investors will be, in line with the behavioral hypothesis of "myopic loss aversion", which assumes that people are myopic in evaluating outcomes over time, and are more sensitive to losses than to gains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leading-by-example and signaling in voluntary contribution games: an experimental study
TL;DR: It is found that leading-by-example increases contributions and earnings in an environment where a leader has private information about the returns from contributing, and the success of leadership appears to be driven by signaling rather than by nonpecuniary factors such as reciprocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lobbying and asymmetric information
Jan Potters,Frans van Winden +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Tirole et al. analyzed the influence of informational lobbying in a game-theoretic setting, where the policymaker is assumed to be fully aware of the strategic incentives of the interest group to (mis)report or conceal its private information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interest groups: A survey of empirical models that try to assess their influence
Jan Potters,Randolph Sloof +1 more
TL;DR: A broad survey of the literature on interest group politics can be found in this paper, where the authors provide a more complete picture of the results, however, a broad survey seems useful.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental examination of rational rent-seeking
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the extreme cases of proportional probabilities and perfect discrimination and find substantial evidence for the predictive power of the rent-seeking model, particularly if one allows for the fact that people sometimes make mistakes or are confused about what to do.
