In this paper, we design an investment game which allows us to study the influence of selection when learning from … others. Using the theoretical study of selection neglect in Jehiel (2018) as a guide, we test (i) for the presence of … selection neglect in this investment context, and (ii) some comparative static predictions of the model. We find strong evidence …

This paper experimentally studies two simple interventions aimed at increasing public goods provision in settings in which accurate feedback about contributions is not available. The first intervention aims to exploit lying aversion by requiring subjects to send a non-verifiable ex post...
