IC technology and learning : an impact evaluation of cl ssi2.0
Checchi, Daniele; Rettore, Enrico; Girardi, Silvia - 2015
In this paper we present a counterfactual evaluation of the effect of ICT resources at school on student achievements conducted in Italy. In 2009 156 classes at 6th grade were endowed with additional resources earmarked for purchasing ICT equipments only. By selecting an equivalent number of...

Strategic complexity and the value of thinking
Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria - 2022
Response times are a simple low-cost indicator of the process of reasoning in strategic games. In this paper, we leverage the dynamic nature of response-time data from repeated strategic interactions to measure the strategic complexity of a situation by how long people think on average when they...

Using response times to measure strategic complexity and the value of thinking in games
Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria L. - 2017
Response times are a simple low-cost indicator of the process of reasoning in strategic games (Rubinstein, 2007; Rubinstein, 2016). We leverage the dynamic nature of response-time data from repeated strategic interactions to measure the strategic complexity of a situation by how long people think on...

How cognitive skills affect strategic behavior : cognitive ability, fluid intelligence and judgment
Gill, David; Knepper, Zachary; Prowse, Victoria; Zhou, Junya - 2024
We explore the influence of cognitive ability and judgment on strategic behavior in the beauty contest game (where the Nash equilibrium action is zero). Using the level-k model of bounded rationality, cognitive ability and judgment both predict higher level strategic thinking. However,...

Cognitive skills, strategic sophistication, and life outcomes
Fe, Eduardo; Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria - 2020
We investigate how childhood cognitive skills affect strategic sophistication and adult outcomes. In particular, we emphasize the importance of childhood theory-of-mind as a cognitive skill. We collected experimental data from more than seven hundred children in a variety of strategic...

Cognitive skills and the development of strategic sophistication
Fe, Eduardo; Gill, David - 2018
The wage effect of job-education vertical mismatch (i.e. overeducation) has only recently been investigated in the case of Ph.D. holders. The existing contributions rely on OLS estimates that allow measuring the average effect of being mismatched at the mean of the conditional wages...

Education and growth with learning by doing
Marconi, Gabriele; Grip, Andries de - 2015
We develop a general equilibrium overlapping generations model which is based on the view that education makes workers more productive by increasing their ability to learn from work experience, rather than providing skills that directly increase productivity. One important implication of the...
