Adversarial risks in the lab - An experimental study of framing-effects in attacker-defender games

摘要

We conducted an economic lab experiment to test for a two-player defender-attacker game the theoretical predictions and two variants of framing. We used framing to intensify the players' perceived conflict of interests in the underlying defender-attacker game by uniformly shifting payoffs (endogenous framing) and modifying wording (exogenous framing).
