Of housewives and feminists: gender norms and intra-household division of labour
Görges, Luise - 2021
To investigate the role of gender norms in household specialisation choices, I conduct a lab experiment with real … hetero-sexual couples playing a battle of the sexes game. The salience of gender norms varies across treatments: the Norm … consistent with marriage market motives, i.e. some men may want to signal progressive gender attitudes to their partner. …

Testing the effect of defaults on the thermostat settings of OECD employees
Brown, Zack; Johnstone, Nick; Haščič, Ivan; Vong, Laura - 2012
Default options have been shown to affect behaviour in a variety of economic choice tasks, including health care and retirement savings. Less research has tested whether defaults affect behaviour in the domain of energy efficiency. This study uses data from a randomized controlled experiment in...

Less Rationality, More Efficiency: a Laboratory Experiment on "Lemon" Markets.
Kirstein, Annette; Kirstein, Roland - 2004
We have experimentally tested a theory of bounded rational behavior in a "lemon market". It provides an explanation for the observation that real world players successfully conclude transactions when perfect rationality predicts a market collapse. We analyzed two different market designs :...

Europäischer Verbraucherschutz - Ausdruck grenzenloser Regulierungswut oder sinnvoller Schutz für Käufer? Erkenntnisse aus einem Laborexperiment
Kirstein, Roland; Kirstein, Annette - 2006
Wir nutzen die Ergebnisse eines Experiments über Lemons-Märkte, um wirtschaftspolitische Folgerungen über die EU-Verbraucherschutzregulierung von 1999 abzuleiten. Die beiden Marktdesigns, die im Experiment getestet wurden, unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich des Grades, zu dem die Verbraucher das...

Less Rationality, More Efficiency: a Laboratory Experiment on "Lemons" Markets
Kirstein, Annette; Kirstein, Roland - 2004
In this paper we experimentally test a theory of boundedly rational behavior in a "lemons market." We analyzed two different market designs, for which perfect rationality implies complete and partial market collapse, respectively. Our empirical observations deviate substantially from these...

Lab measures of other-regarding preferences can predict some related on-the-job behavior : evidence from a large scale field experiment
Burks, Stephen V.; Nosenzo, Daniele; Anderson, Jon; … - 2015
There is by now ample evidence from laboratory experiments that individuals exhibit "prosocial" or "other-regarding" preferences. However, a key question is whether the importance of other-regarding preferences documented in the laboratory can be readily generalized to draw conclusions about the...

Modeling social preferences : a generalized model of inequity aversion
Khan, Hayat - 2010 - This Draft: Jan 3, 2010
Taking note of the wide variety and growing list of models in the literature to explain patterns of behavior observed in laboratory experiments, this paper identifies two tests, the Variety Test (ability of a model to explain outcomes under variety or alternative scenarios) and the Psychological...

Lab measures of other-regarding preferences can predict some related on-the-job behavior : evidence from a large scale field experiment
Burks, Stephen V.; Nosenzo, Daniele; Anderson, Jon; … - 2016
We measure a specific form of other-regarding behavior, costly cooperation with an anonymous other, among 645 subjects at a trucker training program in the Midwestern US. Using subjects' second-mover strategy in a sequential form of the Prisoners' Dilemma, we categorize subjects as: Free Rider,...
