We set up a framework to conduct experiments for estimating spillover effects when units are grouped into mutually exclusive clusters. We improve upon existing methods by allowing for heteroskedasticity, intra-cluster correlation and cluster size heterogeneity, which are typically ignored when...

We develop a framework to conduct experiments for estimating direct and spillover effects when units are grouped into mutually exclusive clusters. Crucially, our framework accounts for heterogeneous treatment effects across clusters and heterogeneous cluster sizes, which are pervasive in...

We develop a framework to analyze partial population experiments, a generalization of the cluster experimental design where clusters are assigned to different treatment intensities. Our framework allows for heterogeneity in cluster sizes and outcome distributions. We study the large-sample...

We study beliefs about wealth inequality and preferences for wealth redistribution. For this, we conduct a large …-scale online survey in Germany. First, we analyze how well participants are informed about the German wealth distribution and their … position in it. Second, we investigate how preferences for wealth redistribution are affected by an information experiment. One …

Preferences over wealth can explain why households do not spend more when real interest rates fall, because they save … more than optimal under a standard model. However, little is known about preferences over wealth empirically. We run an … wealth, consistent with wealth entering the utility function directly. …
