Gender Differences in Responses to Competitive Organization? A Field Experiment on Differences Between STEM and Non-STEM Fields from an Internet-of-Things Platform
Boudreau, Kevin; Kaushik, Nilam - 2023

Gift-exchange in society and the social integration of refugees : evidence from a field, a laboratory, and a survey experiment
Jeworrek, Sabrina; Leisen, Bernd Josef; Mertins, Vanessa - 2019
Refugee integration requires broad support from the host society, but only a minority of the host population is actively engaged. Given that most individuals reciprocate kind behaviour, we examine the idea that the proportion of supporters will increase as a reciprocal response to refugees'...

In search of workers' real effort reciprocity : a field and a laboratory experiment
Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Rockenbach, Bettina; Sadrieh, … - 2005
We present a field experiment to assess the effect of own and peer wage variations on actual work effort of employees with hourly wages. Work effort neither reacts to an increase of the own wage, nor to a positive or negative peer comparison. This result seems at odds with numerous laboratory...

Stochastic income and conditional generosity
Kellner, Christian; Reinstein, David; Riener, Gerhard - 2015
We study how other-regarding behavior extends to environments with uncertain income and conditional commitments. Should fundraisers ask a banker to donate "if he earns a bonus" or wait and ask after the bonus is known? Standard EU theory predicts these are equivalent; loss-aversion and signaling...

Hidden persuaders : do small gifts lubricate business negotiations?
Maréchal, Michel André; Thöni, Christian - 2016
Gift-giving customs are ubiquitous in social, political, and business life. Legal regulation and industry guidelines for gifts are often based on the assumption that large gifts have the potential to influence behavior and create conflicts of interest, but small gifts do not. However, scientific...
