How can naiveté about present bias persist despite experience? To answer this question, our experiment investigates … the nature of the task at the second date further shows that learning is unencumbered by a change in environment. Our …

study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills … losses from high bids are more salient than in SPAs. Experience in FPAs causes substantial cross-game learning for … bid shading by cognitively more able participants, resulting in lower profits in FPAs. Thus, cross-game learning has the …

first-ever field experiment randomly providing free computers to students, we examine the relationships between access to … experiment indicate that the treatment group of students receiving free computers has a 4.5 percentage point higher probability …Access to information may represent an important barrier to learning about and ultimately transferring to 4-year …

that tracking can have positive effects on student learning, inaccurate placement has consequences: students face … experiment across seven colleges to evaluate the algorithm's effects on students. Placement rates into college-level courses … track students. However, there are concerns that the most frequently used college placement exams lack validity and …

Do the people around us influence our personality? To answer this question, we conduct an experiment with 543 … university students who we randomly assign to study groups. Our results show that students become more similar to their peers … along several dimensions. Students with more competitive peers become more competitive, students with more open-minded peers …

Using an incentivized online classroom experiment, we assess the effectiveness of deontological vs. consequentialist … any empirical support that male participants are more corrupt in comparison to female participants. Students majoring in … economics or business/management show more corrupt behavior than students studying to become economics school teachers, but the …

We report two information cascade game experiments that directly test the impact of altruism on observational learning … substantial public information which increases the earnings of participants. In Experiment 2, participants have better … opportunities to learn about the strategies played by observed which amplifies the impact of altruism on observational learning. …

infinite-horizon learning, and subjective expectations with Euler-equation learning. Under rational expectations, the model … necessitates of large, possibly unrealistically so, degrees of myopia. The same result persists under infinite-horizon learning …, given that agents are still remarkably far-sighted. But, under Euler-equation learning, the model can fit the data with only …
