It is well known that property rights can privatize incentives for the provision of goods that provide public benefits. Unfortunately, it is often infeasible to implement a property rights system...

Neural signature of fictive learning signals in a sequential investment task (2007)
Lohrenz, Terry, McCabe, Kevin, Camerer, Colin F., Montague, P. Read
Reinforcement learning models now provide principled guides for a wide range of reward learning experiments in animals and humans. One key learning (error) signal in these models is experiential and...

In many research contexts it is useful to group experimental subjects into behavioral “types.” Usually, this is done by pre-specifying a set of candidate decision-making heuristics and assigning...

Are decisions under risk malleable?
Fong, Christina, McCabe, Kevin

Risk preference instability across institutions: A dilemma
Berg, Joyce, Dickhaut, John, McCabe, Kevin
In this article we use laboratory experiments to ask a fundamental question: Do individuals behave as if their risk preferences are stable across institutions? In particular, we study the decisions...

Sustaining cooperation in trust games
Rigdon, Mary, McCabe, Kevin, Smith, Vernon
It is well-known in evolutionary game theory that population clustering in Prisoner's Dilemma games allows some cooperative strategies to invade populations of stable defecting strategies. We adapt...
The meritocracy as a mechanism to overcome social dilemmas
Gunnthorsdottir, Anna, Vragov, Roumen, Mccabe, Kevin, Seifert, Stefan
A new mechanism that substantially mitigates social dilemmas is examined theoretically and experimentally. It resembles the voluntary contribution mechanism (VCM) except that in each decision round...
