Overweighting private information: Three measures, one bias?
Fellner, Gerlinde; Krügel, Sebastian - 2010
predicted effects of overconfidence. These studies assume, however, that a specific type of overconfidence, i.e., miscalibration …-established miscalibration bias. We find no gender differences in overconfidence for our measures except for one, where women are more … overconfidence and linked to the judgment literature in psychology. Empirical tests of the models often fail to find evidence for the …

Judgmental overconfidence and trading activity
Fellner, Gerlinde; Krügel, Sebastian - 2012
We investigate the theoretically proposed link between judgmental overconfidence and trading activity. In addition to … applying classical measures of miscalibration, we introduce a measure to capture misperception of signal reliability, which is … the relevant bias in the theoretical overconfidence literature. We relate the obtained overconfidence measures to trading …

Imperfect recall and time inconsistencies: An experimental test of the absentminded driver 'paradox'
Levati, Maria Vittoria; Uhl, Matthias; Zultan, Ro'i - 2010
Absentmindedness is a special case of imperfect recall which according to Piccione and Rubinstein (1997a) leads to time inconsistencies. Aumann, Hart and Perry (1997a) question their argument and show how dynamic inconsistencies can be resolved. The present paper explores this issue from a...

Charitable giving among females and males: An empirical test of the competitive altruism hypothesis
Böhm, Robert; Regner, Tobias - 2012
We conduct a real-effort task experiment where subjects' performance translates into a donation to a charity. In a within-subjects design we vary the visibility of the donation (no/private/public feedback). Confirming previous studies, we find that subjects' performance increases, that is, they...

Honestly, why are you donating money to charity? An experimental study about self-awareness in status- seeking behavior
Kataria, Mitesh; Regner, Tobias - 2012
This study investigates experimentally whether people in retrospective are self-aware that they engage in status-seeking behavior. Subjects participated in a real-effort task where effort translated into a donation to a charity. Within-subjects we varied the visibility of their performance...

Punishment fosters efficiency in the minimum effort coordination game
Le Lec, Fabrice; Matthey, Astrid; Rydval, Ondérej - 2012
Using a laboratory experiment, we examine whether informal monetary sanctions can lead to better coordination in a repeated minimum effort coordination game. While most groups first experience inefficient coordination, the efficiency increases substantially after introducing an ex post...

A flexible z-Tree implementation of the Social Value Orientation Slider Measure (Murphy et al. 2011): Manual
Crosetto, Paolo; Weisel, Ori; Winter, Fabian - 2012
This manual describes a z-Tree (Fischbacher, 2007) implementation of the paper-based Social Vaule Orientation (SVO) Slider Measure by Murphy et al. (2011). Using the paper-based version instead of the slider-based version (as implemented on the SVO-Website) avoids server-traffic related delays...

Self-image and moral balancing: An experimental analysis
Ploner, Matteo; Regner, Tobias - 2013
In our experiment, a dictator game variant, the reported outcome of a die roll determines the endowment (low/high) in a subsequent dictator game. In one treatment the experimenter is present and no cheating is possible, while in another subjects can enter the result of the roll themselves. Moral...
