Measuring trust in institutions and its causal effect
Penczynski, Stefan P.; Santana, Maria Isabel - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 15 (2024) 1, pp. 213-243

Additionally … institution increases trust and changes individual financial behavior. We find that eligible individuals significantly increase …

Confucianism and preferences : evidence from lab experiments in Taiwan and China
Liu, Elaine M.; Meng, Juanjuan; Wang, Joseph Tao-yi - 2013
This paper investigates how Confucianism affects individual decision making in Taiwan and in China. We found that Chinese subjects in our experiments became less accepting of Confucian values, such that they became significantly more risk loving, less loss averse, and more impatient after being...

Time Preferences in Decisions for Others
Rau, Holger Andreas - 2020
This paper analyzes in a within-subjects experiment time preferences when people decide for themselves and on behalf of others. The data show that subjects become more impatient when making decisions, which affect the payoff of others. The change can be explained by altruistic subjects who...

Biased effects of taxes and subsidies on portfolio choices
Ackermann, Hagen; Fochmann, Martin; Mihm, Benedikt - 2012
We study how taxes and subsidies affect portfolio choices in a laboratory experiment. We find highly significant differences after intervention, even though the net income is identical in all our treatments and thus the decision pattern of investors should be constant. In particular, we observe...

Real tax effects and tax perception effects in decisions on asset allocation
Fochmann, Martin; Hemmerich, Kristina - 2014
We test the predictions of the theoretical literature initiated by the study of Domar and Musgrave (1944) with a laboratory experiment in which subjects have to decide on the composition of an asset portfolio. Our simple design enables us to distinguish between Real Tax Effects and Perception...

The effect of straight-line and accelerated depreciation rules on risky investment decisions : an experimental study
Ackermann, Hagen; Fochmann, Martin - 2014
The aim of this study is to analyze how depreciation rules influence the decision behavior of investors. For this purpose, we conduct a laboratory experiment in which participants decide on the composition of an asset portfolio in different choice situations. Using an experimental environment...

How does the type of subsidization affect investments : experimental evidence
Ackermann, Hagen - 2015
I study how different types of subsidization affect investment decisions in a laboratory experiment. Even though the expected pro t is identical in all treatments, I find highly significant differences between them. In particular, when investment alternatives get subsidized with tax credits the...

The Biased Effect of Aggregated and Disaggregated Income Taxation on Investment Decisions
Fochmann, Martin - 2014
In a laboratory experiment that allows us to vary the taxation method while keeping the financial outcomes constant, we find clear evidence that aggregated income taxation (comparable to profit taxation) with complete loss deduction induces a sustained bias towards more risky investment...
