Fungibility, labels and consumption
Abeler, Johannes; Marklein, Felix - 2010
Fungibility of money is a central assumption in the theory of consumer choice: any unit of money is substitutable for another. This implies that the composition of income or wealth is irrelevant for consumption. We find in a field experiment that even in a simple, incentivized setup many...

Nudging the electorate : what works and why?
Kölle, Felix; Lane, Tom; Nosenzo, Daniele; Starmer, Chris - 2017
Policymakers are increasingly interested these days in how they can achieve desired outcomes using 'nudges' - low-cost and non-obtrusive interventions which rely on psychological mechanisms, rather than high-powered economic incentives, to influence people's behaviour. This paper applies the...

Impacts of urbanisation on trust : evidence from an experiment in the field
Xu, Elvis Cheng - 2019
We conduct a field trust game under a natural experiment context to test the impacts of urbanisation on trust. We conjecture that urbanisation, defined in this context as the process of state-led rural-urban migration, contributes to a transformation of trust levels among co-villagers and...

Norm elicitation in within-subject designs : testing for order effects
D'Adda, Giovanna; Drouvelis, Michalis; Nosenzo, Daniele - 2015
We investigate norms of corruption using the norm-elicitation procedure introduced by Krupka and Weber (2013). We use a …

The results show people are more likely to undertake bribery than embezzlement, and this is attributed to the joint … decision-making dynamic of bribery, which shapes the responsibility for the outcome of corruption to be shared between the …

Lab measures of other-regarding preferences can predict some related on-the-job behavior : evidence from a large scale field experiment
Burks, Stephen V.; Nosenzo, Daniele; Anderson, Jon; … - 2015
There is by now ample evidence from laboratory experiments that individuals exhibit "prosocial" or "other-regarding" preferences. However, a key question is whether the importance of other-regarding preferences documented in the laboratory can be readily generalized to draw conclusions about the...

Failure of unravelling theory? : a natural field experiment on voluntary quality disclosure
Lane, Tom; Zhou, Minghai - 2021
This paper presents a simple adaptive model of demand adjustment in cooperative games, and analyzes this model in weighted majority games. In the model, a randomly chosen player sets his demand to the highest possible value subject to the demands of other coalitions members being satisfied. This...
