How do men and women differ in their persistence after experiencing failure in a competitive environment? We tackle this question by combining a large online experiment (N=2,086) with machine learning. We find that when losing is unequivocally due to merit, both men and women exhibit a...

Matching markets can be unstable when individuals prefer to be matched to a partner who also wants to be matched with … preferences exist, significantly decrease stability in matching markets, and are driven both by belief-based and preference …

Students participating in centralized admissions procedures do not typically have access to the information used to determine their matched school, such as other students' preferences or school priorities. This can lead to doubts about whether their matched schools were computed correctly (the...

What explains the mixed evidence from laboratory tests of Kőszegi and Rabin's (2006 and later) model of expectations-based reference-dependent preferences? We investigate one hypothesis: to become (behavior-affecting) reference points, probability beliefs have to sink in--being merely lagged,...

We develop new semiparametric methods for estimating treatment effects. We focus on a setting where the outcome distributions may be thick tailed, where treatment effects are small, where sample sizes are large and where assignment is completely random. This setting is of particular interest in...

Is there a way of matching donations that avoids crowding out? And, more generally, what is the best way to utilize a … matching method, some simple theoretical considerations, and evidence from a large-scale natural field experiment on charitable … giving. We compare a standard linear matching scheme with a novel matching scheme in which the matched amount is allocated …

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 …
