Abstract

We experimentally test whether the possibility of building a reputation impacts behavior in the manner suggested by theory. Our unified reputation framework theoretically allows for either the good or the bad reputation prediction to emerge. Our design additionally varies whether reputation building is possible or not by making the past choices of the long run player observable to the short run players or not. We observe that reputation is not bad, but neither is it as good as previously thought.
