COVID-19 has affected daily life in unprecedented ways. Using a longitudinal dataset linking biometric and survey data from several cohorts of young adults before and during the pandemic (N=685), we document large disruptions to physical activity, sleep, time use, and mental health. At the onset...

We experimentally investigate behavioral drivers of bribery, focusing on the role of self- interest, reciprocity, and moral costs associated with distorting judgment. In our experiment, two participants compete for a prize; a referee picks the winner. Participants can bribe the referee. When the...

This effect is mediated by prior political leanings and, thus, contributes to...

We study how one person may shape the way another person interprets objective information. They do this by proposing a sense-making explanation (or narrative). Using a theory-driven experiment, we investigate the mechanics of such narrative persuasion. Our results reveal several insights. First,...
