Experimental Evidence about the Persistence of High Prices in a Soft-Cap Auction for Electricity 1 (2008)

Timothy D. Mount, Robert J. Thomas, Christian A. Vossler, Ray D. Zimmerman

The high prices for electricity in California during the summer of 2000 led to a substantial amount of regulatory and political intervention. Price caps were lowered and the Federal Energy Regulatory...

COMMUNICATION AND INCENTIVE MECHANISMS BASED ON GROUP PERFORMANCE: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF NONPOINT POLLUTION CONTROL (2006)

Vossler, Christian A., Poe, Gregory L., Schulze, William D., Segerson, Kathleen

This article considers whether communication can improve the efficacy of incentive mechanisms designed to correct the problem of moral hazard in groups. In particular, we use experimental economics...

CAN PUBLIC GOODS EXPERIMENTS INFORM ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES? (2005)

Paul Ferraro, Christian A. Vossler

Understanding behavior in experimental public goods games is fundamental to the work of environmental, behavioral, institutional and policy-oriented economists. Although much research has been...

Experiments on Damage-Based Ambient Taxes for Nonpoint Source Polluters

Jordan F. Suter, Christian A. Vossler, Gregory L. Poe, Kathleen Segerson

This article presents experimental tests of a linear and a nonlinear ambient tax mechanism that involve modest information requirements for the regulator. When agents are not allowed to communicate,...

Payment Certainty in Discrete Choice Contingent Valuation Responses: Results from a Field Validity Test

Christian A. Vossler, Robert G. Ethier, Gregory L. Poe, Michael P. Welsh

Two methods for calibrating discrete choice contingent valuation responses—the dichotomous choice with follow-up certainty question method of and the multiple-bounded method of —are evaluated...

Hybrid allocation mechanisms for publicly provided goods

Evans, Mary F., Vossler, Christian A., Flores, Nicholas E.

Motivated by efficiency and equity concerns, public resource managers have increasingly utilized hybrid allocation mechanisms that combine features of commonly used price (e.g., auction) and...

Ambient-based pollution mechanisms: A comparison of homogeneous and heterogeneous groups of emitters

Suter, Jordan F., Vossler, Christian A., Poe, Gregory L.

Over the last two decades, ambient-based tax mechanisms have been offered as a potential solution to the problem of nonpoint source water pollution. Previous theoretical analyses suggest that the...

Incentive compatibility tests of choice experiment value elicitation questions

Collins, Jill P., Vossler, Christian A.

This paper uses laboratory experiments with induced values to address fundamental issues related to the incentive compatibility of choice experiment value elicitation questions. In particular, we...
