In the standard risk-neutral model, Nash equilibrium predicts no difference in strategies between treatments with and without the externality. Our experimental results provide some support for this prediction, as average bids do not differ significantly across treatments and generally align with equilibrium benchmarks. However, bidding distributions in both treatments exhibit a pronounced bimodal pattern that is consistent with previous all-pay auction experiments but inconsistent with risk-neutral Nash predictions. To account for these features, we evaluate two models of bounded rationality, incorporating prospect theory-inspired preferences: quantal response equilibrium (QRE) and a variant on noisy introspection that we call Belief-Perturbed Logit (BPL). While both models can rationalize bimodal bidding, QRE provides the superior fit while also predicting the location of bid peaks across treatments. These results reinforce the growing evidence that while subjects may not mix strategies exactly as prescribed by Nash equilibrium, their bidding behavior remains broadly equilibrium-consistent. Our findings also support the role of reference dependence and loss aversion in explaining bimodal bidding and strategic behavior more generally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"239 ","pages":"Article 107255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigate how rule following is influenced by other people and social proximity to them. In particular, we are interested in the identity composition of an individual’s observed peer group: does it matter whether a rule breaker is an ingroup or an outgroup member? To investigate this question, we use a novel abstract rule-following task with strong incentives to break the rule. We call our rule-following task the “Y task” because the rule requested participants (<em>n</em>=7,033 Prolific workers) to take one of the two diverging paths of a Y-shaped maze. Consistent with previous research, we show that examples of rule violations trigger further rule violations, even though overall rule compliance remains high. Contrary to our hypotheses, and research on honesty and cooperation, we do not find that group identity moderates the influence of peer compliance on people’s willingness to follow rules. We conclude that rule breaking is contagious regardless of the ingroup or outgroup status of the rule breaker.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"239 ","pages":"Article 107264"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The economy has conventional and gig sectors, with workers searching in both. Some workers never consider gig employment, and others do under certain conditions. Workers are allowed to work in both sectors at the same time if they prefer. Workers match with gig positions with probability one, but gig workers face a wage penalty and matching frictions in the conventional sector. As a result, gig work serves as an alternative to unemployment, the gig sector absorbs labor market slack from the conventional sector, but the choice to engage in the gig economy comes at a cost to workers. By comparing the implications of the model under various levels of exposure to the gig economy, we explore the nature of the sector and the opportunities and consequences that come with it. The benchmark model provides insights into the rise of the gig economy, highlighting its impact on workers and the segmentation of the labor markets. While the presence of the gig sector opens up new job opportunities, potential welfare implications from the existence of the gig sector and its frictions are estimated to range from a benefit around 80% to a cost of around 20%, and directly impact up to two-thirds of the workforce relative to a standard search model with no gig sector. The costs mostly apply to workers with middle to lower productivity, and therefore have important distributional implications. Promoting a more inclusive gig economy can enable market systems to address labor market challenges while preserving their innovative and adaptive capabilities. As a case study, the gig economy highlights the balance between market efficiency and social equity, providing valuable perspectives on labor relations, creative destruction, and policy solutions grounded in market economics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"239 ","pages":"Article 107253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145128383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
