Natural resource users face a trade-off between present and future consumption. Using harmful methods or extracting unsustainably, lowers Therefore, it is reasonable to posit that people with higher time preferences extract more as compared lower preferences. The study combines experimental questionnaire data in order understand the relationship individual fishers' extraction behavior. We elicit using an incentivized experiment, linking resulting preference measures from questionnaire, well...

Biotechnology can provide innovative and efficient tools to support sustainable development of aquaculture. It is generally accepted that use the term 'genetically modified' causes controversy conflict among consumers, but little known about how using 'biotechnology' as a salient feature on product packaging affects consumer preferences. In an online discrete choice experiment consisting two treatments, set 1005 randomly chosen Swedish consumers were surveyed hormone triploidization...

OGUMI is an Android-based open source mobile application for conducting Common-Pool Resource Experiments, Choice and Questionnaires in the field, laboratory, online. A main feature of its capacity to capture real-time changes human behaviour response a dynamically varying resource. simple (for example, likewise other existing software, it does not require expertise behavioural game theory), stable, extremely flexible with respect user-resource model running background. Here we present...

Using an experimental approach, we investigate income distribution among heterogeneous subjects exploiting a Common Pool Resource (CPR). The CPR experiments are conducted in continuous time and under different treatments, including combinations of communication monitoring. While many studies have focused on how real-life inequality affects cooperation resource use groups, here examine the relationship between individuals’ cooperative traits, harvest inequalities, institutional arrangements....

The advertising of foods high in saturated fat, sodium, or sugar (HFSS) has garnered particular attention. Little is known about the impact regulations on household expenditures measured terms key causes diet-related maladies (overconsumption calories, and sugar). Using UK Living Costs Food Survey from 2001 to 2012, households with children 16 years old under as a control group, we found that self-regulation significant expenditure 5.91 grams per capita/day. Co-regulation leads larger...

Using an intergenerational trilateral laboratory gift-exchange game, we investigate how employers' own performance in a real effort task impacts on the wage setting behavior of younger and older employers. We find that strongly affects behavior, though do not significant differences concerning or employees' age.

To reduce the cognitive experimenter demand effect we embed a dictator game in more complex decision environment, dynamic household savings problem, thus rendering to share some endowment less salient. We then use this laboratory experiment investigate gender specific allocation behavior and discrimination. observe that dictators treat females nicer than males independent of their own gender. Participants are not aware discriminating behavior.

The sustainable use of common pool resources (CPRs) such as fisheries constitutes a major challenge for society. A large body empirical studies conducted in discrete time indicates that resource users are able to prevent the ‘tragedy commons' under institutional arrangements can promote cooperation. However, variability exhibited by human behaviour and dynamic nature renewable require continuous experiments fully explain mechanisms underpinning resources. We CPR investigate how extraction...
