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 …

experiment with 743 subjects whether small-scale, seemingly negligible, events also affect the formation of risk preferences. In … line with a reinforcement learning model, we find that subjects who won a random lottery took significantly more risk in a … second lottery almost a year later. The same pattern emerges in another experiment with 136 subjects where the second lottery …

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 …

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 designed four observational learning experiments to identify the key channels that, along with Bayes …-rational inferences, drive herd behavior. In Experiment 1, unobserved, whose actions remain private, learn from the public actions made in … observational learning accounts for the phenomenon of excessive herding, it captures well herd behavior with medium quality signals …

We study the impact of classroom rank on children’s learning using a unique experiment from Ecuador. Within each school …, students were randomly assigned to classrooms in every grade between kindergarten and 6th grade. Students with the same ability …
