Essays in Experimental Economics

Description

Abstract:
Three essays comprise this dissertation, which uses experimental methods to study economic questions. The first chapter contributes to the understanding of people’s willingness to lend and their borrower preferences in one-to-one on-line micro-finance lending. The second chapter explores how the opportunity to express emotions affects buyers' willingness to pay and sellers’ offering prices. The third chapter examines how informal sanctions and voting influence the effect of mild formal sanctions on voluntary contributions to a public good.
