Home price expectations and spending : evidence from a field experiment
Anand Chopra, Felix; Roth, Christopher; Wohlfart, Johannes - 2023
How do households adjust their spending behavior in response to changes in home price expectations?

In the experiment we exogenously vary households' home price expectations by providing …

Beliefs About the Stock Market and Investment Choices : Evidence from a Field Experiment
Laudenbach, Christine; Weber, Annika; Wohlfart, Johannes - 2021
We survey clients of a German online bank to study retail investors' beliefs about the autocorrelation of annual returns of the aggregate stock market, and the role of these beliefs in financial decisions. A majority of our respondents believe in mean reversion of aggregate returns, and these...

Cheating in the lab predicts fraud in the field : an experiment in public transportations
Dai, Zhixin; Galeotti, Fabio; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2016

Fungibility, labels and consumption
Abeler, Johannes; Marklein, Felix - 2010
Fungibility of money is a central assumption in the theory of consumer choice: any unit of money is substitutable for another. This implies that the composition of income or wealth is irrelevant for consumption. We find in a field experiment that even in a simple, incentivized setup many...

Free-riding in the lab and in the field
Englmaier, Florian; Gebhardt, Georg - 2011
To investigate the external validity of laboratory results, we combine a public good experiment with three treatments in a field experiment. One treatment offers the opportunity to free-ride, the other two are placebo treatments. We compare results within subjects. In the free-riding treatment,...
