Everyone likes to be liked : experimental evidence from matching markets
Opitz, Timm; Schwaiger, Christoph - 2023
Matching markets can be unstable when individuals prefer to be matched to a partner who also wants to be matched with them. Through a pre-registered and theory-guided laboratory experiment, we provide evidence that such reciprocal preferences exist, significantly decrease stability in matching...

Free Riding and Workplace Democracy – Heterogeneous Task Preferences and Sorting
Kamei, Kenju - 2020
A novel laboratory experiment is used to show that mismatching between task preferences and task assignment undermines worker productivity and leads to free riding in teams. We elicit task preferences from all workers. Workers' endogenous sorting into tasks significantly improves productivity...

Informational Herding and Optimal Experimentation
Smith, Lones; Sorensen, Peter Norman - 2008
We show that far from capturing a formally new phenomenon, informational herding is really a special case of single-person experimentation ­ and 'bad herds' the typical failure of complete learning. We then analyze the analogous team equilibrium, where individuals maximize the present...

Stability and explanatory power of inequality aversion: an investigation of the house money effect
Dannenberg, Astrid; Riechmann, Thomas; Sturm, Bodo; … - 2010
In this paper, we analyse if individual inequality aversion measured with simple experimental games depends on whether the monetary endowment in these games is either a windfall gain ("house money") or a reward for a certain effort-related performance. Moreover, we analyse whether the way of...

Competitive preferences and status as an incentive: Experimental evidence
Charness, Gary; Masclet, David; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2010
In this paper, we investigate individuals' investment in status in an environment where no monetary return can possibly be derived from reaching a better relative position. We use a real-effort experiment in which we permit individuals to learn and potentially improve their status (rank). We...
