Quality Signaling and Demand for Renewable Energy Technology : Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment

Coville, Aidan; Zivin, Joshua S. Graff; Reichert, Arndt R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Solar technologies have been associated with private and social returns, but their technological potential often remains unachieved because of persistently low demand for high-quality products. In a randomized field experiment in Senegal, we assess the potential of three types of quality...

Does exposure to unawareness affect risk preferences? : a preliminary result

Ma, Wenjun; Schipper, Burkhard - 2016

One fundamental assumption often made in the literature on unawareness is that risk preferences are invariant to changes of awareness. We study how exposure to unawareness affects choices under risk. Participants in our experiment choose repeatedly between varying sure outcomes and a lottery in...

Awareness-dependent subjective expected utility

Schipper, Burkhard - 2011 - This Version: December 21, 2011

We develop awareness-dependent subjective expected utility by taking unawareness structures introduced in Heifetz, Meier, and Schipper (2006, 2008, 2011a) as primitives in the Anscombe-Aumann approach to subjective expected utility. We observe that a decision maker is unaware of an event if and...

A Cognitive Foundation for Perceiving Uncertainty

Bohren, J. Aislinn; Hascher, Josh; Imas, Alex; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

sampling outcomes from the relevant distribution sequentially (e.g., experiencing a series of stock returns). Limited attention … outperforming assets when learning the same information sequentially, and this is reflected in beliefs. The entire 40-percentage … point preference reversal appears to be driven by limited attention and memory; manipulating these factors completely …

Complexity and Time

Enke, Benjamin; Graeber, Thomas Wilhelm; Oprea, Ryan - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We provide experimental evidence that core intertemporal choice anomalies -- including extreme short-run impatience, structural estimates of present bias, hyperbolicity and transitivity violations -- are driven by complexity rather than time or risk preferences. First, all anomalies also arise...

Gender Differences in Response to Competitive Organization? Differences Across Fields from a Product Development Platform Field Experiment

Boudreau, Kevin; Kaushik, Nilam - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Prior research, primarily based on lab experiments, suggests that females might be more averse to competition than …

Differences in How and Why Social Comparison and Real-Time Feedback Impact Resource Use : Evidence from a Field Experiment

Andor, Mark Andreas; Götte, Lorenz; Price, Michael Keith; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We compare the behavior and welfare effects of two popular interventions for resource conservation. The first intervention is social comparison reports (SC), which primarily provide consumers with information motivating behavioral change. The second intervention is real-time feedback (RTF),...

One Size Doesn't Fit All : Heterogeneous Depositor Compensation During Periods of Uncertainty

Artavanis, Nikolaos; Paravisini, Daniel; Robles-Garcia, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We develop a new approach to identify different categories of depositors during periods of uncertainty and quantify their compensation to remain in the bank. We isolate withdrawals due to liquidity needs, deterioration of fundamentals, and expectation about withdrawal behavior of other...
