Experimental investigation of individual preferences for communication
Brosig, J.*
Duration: 2004
The subject of the project is the experimental analysis of the effect of different forms of electronic communication on individual decision-making behaviour. In particular, the question of whether and how players use these forms of communication strategically in order to achieve certain game results is to be clarified. The investigation includes negotiation games that are characterized by the fact that individually rational behavior does not lead to collectively rational behavior (= efficiency). The aim of the project is to specify individual preferences with regard to different forms of communication and thus to create a basis for the development of a - so far missing - theory with which the effect of communication on individual decision-making behaviour can be mapped.
