This motivates a laboratory experiment to study causality behind these effects. In two experiments, ...

    Agents, Landlords and Tenants: Price Regulation in a Thick Two-sided Market

The distribution of these rents between intermediaries and sellers, as well as the impact of price regulation, depends on...
