Statistical Power of Within and Between-Subjects Designs in Economic Experiments

Bellemare, Charles; Bissonnette, Luc; Kröger, Sabine - 2014

usefulness of the approach in the context of field experiments on gift exchange. Our results suggest that a BS design requires …

Conditional Cooperation and Betrayal Aversion

Cubitt, Robin P.; Gaechter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015

We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

Who Cares for Social Image? Interactions between Intrinsic Motivation and Social Image Concerns

Friedrichsen, Jana; Engelmann, Dirk - 2013

We consider the interaction of intrinsic motivation and concerns for social approval in a laboratory experiment. We elicit a proxy for Fairtrade preferences before the experiment in which we elicit willingness to pay for conventional and Fairtrade chocolate. Treatments vary whether this can be...

Correlation Neglect in Belief Formation

Enke, Benjamin; Zimmermann, Florian - 2013

Many information structures generate correlated rather than mutually independent signals, the news media being a prime example. This paper shows experimentally that in such contexts many people neglect these correlations in the updating process and treat correlated information as independent. In...

Peer Effects and Social Preferences in Voluntary Cooperation

Thöni, Christian; Gaechter, Simon - 2014

Social preferences and social influence effects (“peer effects”) are well documented, but little is known about how peers shape social preferences. Settings where social preferences matter are often situations where peer effects are likely too. In a gift-exchange experiment with independent...

Beliefs and Utility: Experimental Evidence on Preferences for Information

Falk, Armin; Zimmermann, Florian - 2016

Beliefs are a central determinant of behavior. Recent models assume that beliefs about or the anticipation of future consumption have direct utilityconsequences. This gives rise to informational preferences, i.e., preferences over the timing and structure of information. Using a novel and...

Determinants of trust: the role of personal experiences

Schwerter, Frederik; Zimmermann, Florian - 2019

Social interactions pervade daily life and thereby create an abundance of social experiences. Such personal experiences likely shape what we believe and who we are. In this paper, we ask if and how personal experiences from social interactions determine individuals’ inclination to trust...

Did we overestimate the role of social preferences? The case of self-selected student samples

Falk, Armin; Meier, Stephan; Zehnder, Christian - 2010

phenomena. However, the empirical foundation of social preferences is largely based on laboratory experiments with self …-selected students as participants. This is potentially problematic as students participating in experiments may behave systematically … experiments with student samples misrepresent the importance of social preferences. Our first study shows that students who …

Self-Assessment: The Role of the Social Environment

Falk, Armin; Kosse, Fabian; Schildberg-Hörisch, Hannah; … - 2020

This study presents descriptive and causal evidence on the role of the social environment in shaping the accuracy of self-assessment. We introduce a novel incentivized measurement tool to measure the accuracy of self-assessment among children and use this tool to show that children from high...
