Abstract

En agosto de 2017 entró en funcionamiento el Laboratorio de Economía Experimental LEEX-PUCP. El laboratorio mantiene una base de participantes (subject pool) usando ORSEE 3.0 y software de interacción basado en Linux y oTree. En este artículo presentamos los resultados de las primeras sesiones experimentales en LEEX-PUCP. Estas sesiones implementaron cuatro experimentos económicos clásicos: el juego del ultimátum, el juego de bienes públicos lineales, el juego de la confianza y el “concurso de belleza” de Keynes. En general, los resultados obtenidos son consistentes con los patrones de comportamiento en estos juegos hallados en décadas de experimentación, principalmente en Estados Unidos y Europa. Nuestros resultados constituyen una validación del subject pool, el software y los protocolos que se han implementado en el LEEX-PUCP. JEL Classification-JEL: C91 , D63 , D64 , D91
