Moreover, We do not find signifi cant di erences in the treatment e ffects of the experiment … between variables which, albeit to a mild degree, are correlated with selection into the experiment. To our knowledge, this is …

We present a novel way to understand the low uptake of index insurance using the interlinked concepts of ambiguity and compound-lottery aversion. Noting that the presence of basis risk makes index insurance a compound lottery, we derive an expression of the willingness to pay (WTP) to eliminate...

We propose a new organizing scheme for classifying types of experiments. In addition to the standard categories of laboratory and field experiments, we suggest a new category: “extra-laboratory experiments.” These are experiments that have the same spirit as laboratory experiments, but are...

Inspired by audit studies methodology, we monitored a job intermediation service in Peru to detect gender and racial discrimination in hiring. We capture individual racial information using the approach of Ñopo, Saavedra, and Torero (2007), enabling a richer exploration of racial differences....
