Abstract

This chapter presents a dialog between the two authors, a social psychologist and an economist, who review, comment, and analyze their joint efforts. Their first project began in 1974. Their experiments investigated coalitions, bargaining, risk aversion, and deadlines. Brief descriptions of their work provide a foundation for observations on the history and progress of experimental economics.
