Peer effects in secondary education: Evidence from trends in mathematics and science study 2015 based on weak-tie bonds

Dannemann, Bernhard C. - 2019

Peer effects in education production functions are predominantly employed as the mean classroom performance. Based on sociological theory and using spatial regression techniques, I introduce social network matrices that correspond to a weighting scheme for peers within the class. In a spatial...

An intensive, school-based learning camp targeting academic and non-cognitive skills evaluated in a randomized trial

Hvidman, Charlotte; Koch, Alexander; Nafziger, Julia; … - 2021

We evaluate two variants of a school-based, intensive learning camp for pupils who are assessed 'not ready' for further education after compulsory school, using a stratified cluster randomized trial involving 15,559 pupils in 264 schools in Denmark. Next to training pupils in Danish and...

The Role of Time Preferences in Educational Decision Making

Tolan, Songül; Kemptner, Daniel - 2016

We analyze the relevance of time-inconsistent preferences in educational decision making and corresponding policies within a structural dynamic choice model. Using a novel identification approach based on exclusion restrictions, we exploit the variation in average years invested in degree...

Wage negotiations and strategic responses to transparency

Werner, Peter - 2019

This paper investigates how negotiations between employers and employees respond to exogenous and endogenous wage transparency. In a treatment with exogenous wage transparency, employers' offers increase significantly compared to the case when offers are private information. Moreover, the share...

Endogenous Prospect Theory

Schmidt, Ulrich; Zank, Horst - 2010

In previous models of (cumulative) prospect theory reference-dependence of preferences is imposed beforehand and the location of the reference point is exogenously determined. This paper provides an axiomatization of a new specification of cumulative prospect theory, termed endogenous prospect...

How do sanctions work? The choice between cartel formation and tacit collusion

Andres, Maximilian; Bruttel, Lisa; Friedrichsen, Jana - 2021

we study their effect on firms' communication in a laboratory experiment. Using machine learning to organize the chat … communication into topics, we find that firms are less likely to communicate explicitly about price fixing when sanctioning … institutions are present. At the same time, average prices are lower when communication is less explicit. A mediation analysis …

Wage Floors, Imperfect Performance Measures, and Optimal Job Design

Schöttner, Anja; Kragl, Jenny - 2013

We analyze the effects of wage floors on optimal job design in a moral-hazard model with asymmetric tasks and imperfect aggregate performance measurement. Due to cost advantages of specialization, assigning the tasks to different agents is efficient. A sufficiently high wage floor, however,...

Sickness Absence, Works Councils, and Personnel Problems. Evidence from German Individual and Linked Employer-Employee Data

Arnold, Daniel; Brändle, Tobias; Goerke, Laszlo - 2013

Using both household and linked-employer-employee data we study the effects of works councils on individual sickness absence rates and a subjective measure of personnel problems due to absenteeism in Germany. We find that the existence of a works council is positively correlated with the...

Wage Floors and Optimal Job Design

Kragl, Jenny; Schöttner, Anja - 2011

We analyze the effects of lower bounds on wages, e.g., minimum wages or liability limits, on job design within firms. In our model, two tasks contribute to non-verifiable firm value and affect an imperfect performance measure. The tasks can be assigned to either one or two agents. In the absence...
