The Individual and Joint Performance of Economic Preferences, Personality, and Self-Control in Predicting Criminal Behavior
Friehe, Tim; Schildberg-Hörisch, Hannah - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014
We explore the individual and joint explanatory power of concepts from economics, psychology, and criminology for criminal behavior. More precisely, we consider risk and time preferences, personality traits from psychology (Big Five and locus of control), and a self-control scale from...

The Sound of Others: Surprising Evidence of Conformist Behavior
Crosetto, Paolo; Filippin, Antonio - 2015
It has been shown that subjects tend to follow others' behavior even when the external signals are uninformative. In this paper we go one step further, showing that conformism occurs even when the choices of others are not even presented to the subjects, but just indirectly perceived. We use the...

Click'n'Roll: No Evidence of Illusion of Control
Filippin, Antonio; Crosetto, Paolo - 2015
Evidence of Illusion of Control - the fact that people believe to have control over pure chance events - is a recurrent finding in experimental psychology. Results in economics find instead little to no support. In this paper we test whether this dissonant result across disciplines is due to the...
