Laboratory evidence shows that when people have to argue for a given position, they persuade themselves about the position’s factual and moral superiority. Such self-persuasion limits the potential of communication to resolve conflict and reduce polarization. We test for this phenomenon in a...

Information about past performance has been found to sometimes improve and sometimes worsen subsequent performance. Two factors may help to explain this puzzle: which aspect of one's past performance the information refers to and when it is revealed. In a field experiment in secondary schools,...

How much information should governments reveal to consumers if consumption choices have uninternalized consequences to society? How does an alternative tax policy compare to information disclosure? We develop a price theoretic model of information design that allows empiricists to identify the...

Smartphone app designers often use behavioral design to influence users, increase sales, and boost advertising revenue. Behavioral design relies on elements ranging from app appearance to black-box algorithms and personalization. It commonly exploits behavioral biases, such as the lack of...

Is there a way of matching donations that avoids crowding out? We introduce a novel matching method where the matched … matching for the same project results in partial crowding out in the field experiment and, as predicted, crowding out is … reduced under the novel matching scheme. The lab experiment provides more fine-tuned evidence for the change in crowding and …

We study a form of threshold matching in fundraising where donations above a certain threshold are topped up with a … fixed amount. We show theoretically that threshold matching can induce crowding in if appropriately personalized. In a field …
