opportunities to identify learning rules, since on networks (compared to, e.g., random matching) more rules differ in terms of their … information they consult before making their choices. We use these data to estimate learning types using finite mixture models … find that learning depends on network position. Participants in more complex environments (with more network neighbors …

Innovation research has developed a broad set of methodological approaches in recent decades. In this paper, we propose laboratory experiments as a fruitful methodological addition to the existing methods in innovation research. Therefore, we provide an overview of the existing methods, discuss...

The aim of this paper is to present data to verify the process of mathematization in economic theory. For this we used two representative samples from three of the most in fluential academic journals in the years 1955-56-57 and the years 2015-16-17. Thus, a contingency table was drawn up,...

Individual willingness to enter competitive environments predicts career choices and labor market outcomes. Meanwhile, many people experience competitive contexts as stressful. We use two laboratory experiments to investigate whether factors related to stress can help explain individual...

Frauen sind im Durchschnitt seltener bereit, in Wettbewerb mit anderen Personen zu treten als Männer. Dieser Gender Gap in der Neigung zu konkurrieren ist einer von vielen Gründen für Unterschiede in den Bildungs- und Karriereentscheidungen von Frauen und Männern und für weitere Gender Gaps...

Women are less willing than men to compete against others. This gender gap can partially explain the differences between women's and men's education and career choices, and the labor market disparities that result. The experiments presented here show that even though women are less willing than...

In experimental games, task-related incentives are payments to experimental subjects that vary according to their strategy choices and the consequent outcomes of the games. Limited evidence exists regarding incentive magnitude effects in experimental games. We examined one-off strategy choices...

We experimentally analyze a lemons market with a labor-market framing. Sellers are referred to as 'workers' and have the possibility to provide 'employers' with costly but credible information about their 'productivity'. Economic theory suggests that in this setup, unraveling takes place and a...

We study the effect of embedding pairwise choices between lotteries within a choice list on measured risk attitude. Using an experiment with online workers, we find that subjects choose the risky lottery rather than a sure payment significantly more often when responding to a choice list. This...

Using a laboratory experiment, we behaviourally study the impact of a sudden increase in the common-pool size on within-group conflict, i.e., the paradox of the plenty. We also consider the potential role of governance in avoiding this paradox. In the first stage, a randomly-chosen leader of the...
