Decision Research at Warwick (DR@W) is an interdisciplinary initiative which focuses on behavioural and experimental research of decision making.
Formed in January 2010, DR@W brings together researchers and students from Economics, Psychology, Statistics, Warwick Mathematics Institute, Warwick Manufacturing Group and Warwick Business School that are interested in current developments in the area of experimental and behavioural research.
The Department of Economics have created and manage a large computer laboratory for use with experiments.

Abstract: In this project, we investigate how a listener’s awareness of a speaker’s message set affects their interpretation of the speaker’s chosen message. Participants play a prisoner’s dilemma with one-sided pre-play communication from a sender to a receiver. We assess how the receiver’s awareness of the sender’s set of possible alternative statements (including strong, weak, and empty statements) influences the receiver’s beliefs about the sender’s likelihood to cooperate and the receiver’s own likelihood to cooperate.
