Large-scale environmental programs generally commit substantial societal resources, making the evaluation of their actual effects on the relevant outcomes imperative. As the example of the subsidization of energy-saving appliances illustrates, much of the applied environmental economics...

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...

The paper surveys the experimental literature on matching markets. It covers house allocation, school choice, and two …-sided matching markets such as college admissions. The main focus of the survey is on truth-telling and strategic manipulations by … the agents, on the stability and efficiency of the matching outcome, as well as on the distribution of utility. …

We study the relationship between overconfidence and the political and financial behavior of a nationally representative sample. Consistent with theoretical predictions, our findings indicate that excessive confidence in one's judgment is associated with lower portfolio diversification, greater...

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 …
