The Power of the Test in Three-Level Designs
Konstantopoulos, Spyros - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006
Field experiments that involve nested structures may assign treatment conditions either to entire groups (such as … classrooms or schools), or individuals within groups (such as students). Since field experiments involve clustering, key aspects …

Lab Measures of Other-Regarding Preferences Can Predict Some Related On-the-Job Behavior: Evidence from a Large Scale Field Experiment
Burks, Stephen V.; Nosenzo, Daniele; Anderson, Jon E.; … - 2016
We measure a specific form of other-regarding behavior, costly cooperation with an anonymous other, among 645 subjects at a trucker training program in the Midwestern US. Using subjects' second-mover strategy in a sequential form of the Prisoners' Dilemma, we categorize subjects as: Free Rider,...

Dasgupta, Utteeyo; Gangadharan, Lata; Maitra, Pushkar; … - 2014
The goal of this paper is to examine stability in preferences using the Stigler-Becker state-dependent framework. Using a randomized intervention that changes the opportunity sets of individuals we construct a unique panel data from an artefactual field experiment and evaluate whether the change...

Decisions on Extending Group Membership: Evidence from a Public Good Experiment
Grund, Christian; Harbring, Christine; Thommes, Kirsten; … - 2019
We experimentally analyze whether the opportunity to receive a permanent contract motivates temporary group members in a public good setting and how this affects the other group members. We compare an exogenous and an endogenous decision mechanism to extend the temporary agent's group...
