Bouton et al. (2022) compare the properties of majority run-off and plurality rule elections in a laboratory setting, focusing on Duverger's prediction that plurality rule leads to higher levels of strategic voting. They produce a causal estimate of the difference in incidence of strategic...

This study pushes our understanding of research reliability by reproducing and replicating claims from 110 papers in leading economic and political science journals. The analysis involves computational reproducibility checks and robustness assessments. It reveals several patterns. First, we...

We meta-analyzed 32 experimental "correspondence" studies investigating discrimination in the North American labor market. We collected data on 592 different social signals to examine the impact of social perception (warmth, competence) on callback rates. Our analysis found that social...

Behaviour in economic games is not only noisy. One has reason to believe that heterogeneity is patterned. A prominent application is the linear public good. It is widely accepted that choices result from participants holding discernible types. Proposed types, like freeriders or conditional...

The digital revolution is reinventing business models, reshaping economic sectors, and changing entire societal institutions. Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, profiling and targeting, and several other technological developments are now fundamentally changing the ways economies work. This...

In a functioning democracy, the legitimacy of government rests on citizens' confidence in the political system and its decisions. The ability to express preferences and consider these preferences in decision-making is a critical aspect of democracy. This study investigates the impact of voting...

This paper investigates the effects of temporal changes at the individual and the social level and their impact on cooperation in higher-order networks. To that end, a theoretical framework is proposed to explain the probability of cooperation as a function of temporal variation and neural...

Individuals in most industrialized countries have to make investment decisions throughout their adult life span to save for their retirement. These decisions substantially affect their living standards in old age. Research on cognitive aging has already demonstrated several changes in cognitive...

Decision making usually involves uncertainty and risk. Understanding which parts of the human brain are activated during decisions under risk and which neural processes underly (risky) investment decisions are important goals in neuroeconomics. Here, we reanalyze functional magnetic resonance...
