This paper examines the influence of pre-experiment tasks on subject understanding. It used a 2x2 design varying the … type of instructions and whether or not the pre-experiment quiz was incentivized. The Standard instructions were written …-Media Learning literature, which aims to find ways to maximize subject understanding from instruction. After the pre-experiment …

We experimentally investigate how price expectations are formed in a large asset market where subjects' only task is to forecast the future price of a risky asset. The realized prices depend on these expectations. We observe small (6 participants) and large markets (about 100 participants). In...

We investigate experimentally whether social learners appreciate the redundancy of information conveyed by the behavior of those they observe. Each experimental participant observes a private signal and enters an estimate of the sum of all earlier-moving participants' signals plus her own. In a...
