ECIN Replication Package for "Aggregate and Individual Effects of Information in a Coordination (Traffic) Game"
收藏资源简介:
<div>Using an existing coordination (traffic) experiment, we investigate information’s</div><div>effect on traffic congestion when subjects already have a history of past play. In</div><div>contrast to previous studies, our interventions neither alter aggregate nor individual</div><div>payoffs. A second study isolates individual-subject response to information using a</div><div>fixed distribution of past subjects. We find information alters subject play: subjects</div><div>switch roads more often and receive higher payoffs conditional on switching roads.</div><div>Because switching reduces payoffs unconditionally, information does not generally</div><div>improve payoffs overall. Only subjects that receive information upon starting the</div><div>game appear to increase their payoffs due to the information treatment.</div>
