摘要
Markets are experimentally constructed to test for differences in choice behavior attributable to gender. Subjects participate in two-person, non-cooperative, repeated games. Choices are made simultaneously, opponents are anonymous, and no one knows how many periods are in an experiment. At the beginning of experiments women tend to be more cooperative than men and have a higher variance of choices. After 25 periods these differences vanish. For subject pairs, there is no statistically important relation between paired choice levels and the number of males in a pair. However we find the variance of choices larger for pairs with males. © 1991.
