Truth-telling : a representative assessment
Abeler, Johannes; Becker, Anke; Falk, Armin - 2012
A central assumption of the canonical cheap talk literature is that people misreport their private information if this is to their material benefit. Recent evidence from laboratory experiments with student subjects suggests, however, that while many people do report the payoff-maximizing...

Beliefs and utility : experimental evidence on preferences for information
Falk, Armin; Zimmermann, Florian - 2016
Beliefs are a central determinant of behavior. Recent models assume that beliefs about or the anticipation of future consumption have direct utilityconsequences. This gives rise to informational preferences, i.e., preferences over the timing and structure of information. Using a novel and...

Self-Confidence and Search
Falk, Armin - 2007
Standard search theory assumes that individuals know, with certainty, how they compare to competing searchers in terms … for search behavior. We test our hypotheses in a laboratory experiment. The first main finding is that people are … based on search outcomes. Self-confidence increases or decreases in the right direction, but is less sensitive to new …
