Do agents believe to be agreeing more with others in the long-run? This paper designs an experiment to study how … disagreement regardless of cognitive ability. Learning about the state of the world has little effect on the evolution of perceived …

We demonstrate in a laboratory experiment in which subjects play a two-player Cournot-Tullock game over hundreds of … periods of varying length that full accounts of subjects' learning requires the consideration of, both, 'period time' and …

ability. We study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account …-game learning for cognitively less able participants but does not affect overbidding for the cognitively more able. Vice versa …, 'cross-game learning' may rather be understood as 'cross-game transfer', as it has the potential to benefit bidders with …

We conduct a randomized field experiment to study the effects of two financial education interventions offered to small …-scale retailers in Uganda. The treatments contrast "active learning" with "traditional lecturing" within standardized lesson-plans. We … find that active learning has a positive and economically meaningful impact on savings and investment outcomes, in contrast …

We investigate experimentally whether social learners appreciate the redundancy of information conveyed by their observed predecessors' actions. Each participant observes a private signal and enters an estimate of the sum of all earlier-moving participants' signals plus her own. In a first...
