Research Projects

Experimental Design for Evaluating the Impact of SDG Stamps with Variations in Surplus Size: This experimental study explores how Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) stamps and surplus margins influence consumer-producer negotiations. Using a within-subject design and a sequential bargaining game across six industries, 66 participants alternate roles over 48 rounds. The study analyzes decision-making, pricing behavior, and sustainability preferences through controlled economic interactions and payoff incentives.
