Testing the Waters : Behavior Across Participant Pools
Snowberg, Erik - 2018
We leverage a large-scale incentivized survey eliciting behaviors from (almost) an entire university student population, a representative sample of the U.S. population, and Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) to address concerns about the external validity of experiments with student participants....

Did we overestimate the role of social preferences? : the case of self-selected student samples
Falk, Armin; Meier, Stephan; Zehnder, Christian - 2011
foundation of social preferences is largely based on laboratory experiments with self-selected students as participants. This is … potentially problematic as students participating in experiments may behave systematically different than non …-participating students or non-students. In this paper we empirically investigate whether laboratory experiments with student samples …

Replication in Experimental Economics : A Historical and Quantitative Approach Focused on Public Good Game Experiments
Vallois, Nicolas - 2017
We propose a historical perspective on replication in experimental economics focused on public good games. Our intended contribution is twofold: in terms of method and in terms of object. Methodologically, we blend traditional qualitative history of economics with a less traditional quantitative...

The geometry of distributional preferences and a non-parametric identification approach
Kerschbamer, Rudolf - 2013 - This Version: October 2013
This paper proposes a geometric delineation of distributional preference types and a non-parametric approach for their identification in a two-person context. It starts with a small set of assumptions on preferences and shows that this set (i) naturally results in a taxonomy of distributional...

Nonrenewable resources, strategic behavior and the hotelling rule : an experiment
Veldhuizen, Roel van; Sonnemans, Joep - 2014
This study uses the methods of experimental economics to investigate possible reasons for the lack of empirical support for the Hotelling rule for nonrenewable resources. We argue that as long as resource stocks are large enough, producers may choose to (partially) ignore the dynamic component...
