Telling the Truth May Not Pay Off: An Empirical Study of Centralised University Admissions in Germany
Braun, Sebastian; Kübler, Dorothea; Dwenger, Nadja - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
We investigate the matching algorithm used by the German central clearinghouse for university admissions (ZVS) in … criteria applied for admission they all make use of priority matching. In priority matching schemes, it is not a dominant … applicants, we are able to detect some amount of strategic behaviour which can lead to inefficient matching. Alternative ways to …

Canonical correlation and assortative matching: A remark
Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - 2012
In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

Conducting Interactive Experiments Online
Arechar, Antonio A.; Gächter, Simon; Molleman, Lucas - 2017
Online labor markets provide new opportunities for behavioral research, but conducting economic experiments online raises important methodological challenges. This particularly holds for interactive designs. In this paper, we provide a methodological discussion of the similarities and...

Self-Serving Use of Equity Rules in Bargaining with Asymmetric Outside Options
Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Rilke, Rainer … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013
We experimentally investigate multiple notions of equity in ultimatum bargaining with asymmetric outside options. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978), we derive three different equity rules that can explain 43% of all offers. Our within-subject design further...

Learning from a piece of pie: the empirical content of Nash bargaining
Chiappori, Pierre-André; Donni, Olivier - 2006
Consider a model of bargaining, in which two players, 1 and 2, share a pie of size y. The bargaining environment is described by a set of parameters [lamda] that may affect agents' preferences over the agreement sharing, the status quo outcome, or both. The outcomes (i.e., whether an agreement...
