Abstract

Evans, Moser, Newman, and Stikeleather (2016) use experiments of a one†shot game to analyze the impact of open versus closed internal reporting on collusive managerial behavior. They interpret their results as inconsistent with economic theory. To better contrast their findings with economic theory and to expand their view of same, we sketch economic models capable of explaining many aspects of their results. We also critique the research design and offer an alternative payoff structure. We then relate their experiments to the seminal research of Berg, Dickhout, and McCabe (1995) on trust and reciprocity. Finally, we provide suggestions for further research.Evans, Moser, Newman et Stikeleather (2016) ont recours à des expériences de jeu à phase unique pour analyser quelle est l'incidence de l'ouverture ou de la réserve en matière de communication interne de l'information sur le comportement de collusion des gestionnaires. Selon leur interprétation, les résultats qu'ils obtiennent sont incompatibles avec la théorie économique. Pour mieux comparer leurs conclusions avec la théorie économique et pour élargir la perspective qu'ils adoptent à cet égard, les auteurs esquissent ici des modèles économiques pouvant expliquer maints aspects des résultats observés. Ils critiquent également le plan d'expérience et proposent une structure de rétribution différente. Ils rapprochent ensuite leurs expériences de l’étude fondamentale de Berg, Dickhaut et McCabe (1995) sur la confiance et la réciprocité. Enfin, ils offrent des suggestions quant aux recherches à venir.
