Policy makers use several international indices that characterize countries according to the quality of their institutions. However, no effort has been made study how honesty citizens varies across countries. This paper explores among 16 with 1440 participants. We employ a very simple task where participants face trade-off between joy eating fine chocolate and disutility having threatened self-concept because lying. Despite incentives cheat, we find individuals are mostly honest. Further,...
Does competition affect moral behavior? This fundamental question has been debated among leading scholars for centuries, and more recently, it tested in experimental studies yielding a body of rather inconclusive empirical evidence. A potential source ambivalent results on the same hypothesis is design heterogeneity-variation true effect sizes across various reasonable research protocols. To provide further evidence whether affects behavior to examine generalizability single study...
To stay within global environmental boundaries, the food system requires significant changes. In this context, a tax on meat products is frequently proposed as policy measure to stimulate dietary shift away from products. Understanding public preferences for design of such may serve starting point increasing its political feasibility. Our paper explores attributes among inhabitants Netherlands, most livestock-intensive country in Europe. Using discrete choice experiment, we estimate relative...
Abstract Sharing economy platforms commonly claim to bring about positive social impacts, such as facilitating contact between individuals that would not have met otherwise. According theory, intergroup change the stereotypes hold of outgroup members, people with a different nationality or ethnicity. We use large‐scale online Investment Game experiment among Airbnb users study effect interactions on cross‐national trust. In contrast common claims impact sharing economy, we did find who had...
This paper theoretically investigates which auctions are selected by competing sellers when they can choose between first-price and second-price auctions, homogeneously risk averse bidders endogenously enter one of the auctions. In order to study this, we first consider bidders' entry decisions exogenously given We find that there exists a symmetric equilibrium is unique characterized mixed strategy, depends on whether exhibit constant, decreasing or increasing absolute aversion. next step,...

This study examines that exposure images depicting people following breaking rules have perceptions descriptive and injunctive norms subsequent adherence behavior. Methods An online between-subjects experiment ( n = 315) was conducted, which...
One feature of online auctions that has attracted much interest is jump bidding, whereby a bidder raises the price by more than what needed to become highest bidder. The effects bidding on final selling are unknown because past observational studies could not separate from behavior. Our study involves an in vivo experiment during live large auction platform. We intervened early at low, non-competitive levels, either through or incremental and randomly varied magnitude our intervention. In...
To stay within global environmental boundaries, the world's food system requires significant changes. In this context, a tax on meat products is frequently put forward as policy measure to stimulate dietary shift away from products. Understanding public preferences for design of such may be starting point increasing its political feasibility. Our paper explores attributes among inhabitants Netherlands, most livestock-intensive country in Europe. Using discrete choice experiment, we estimate...
This paper analyzes consumers' choices between, as well behavior within three selling mechanisms which are frequently used in online marketplaces: posted prices, ascending auctions and Buy-It-Now auctions. In an exploratory experiment, where subjects choose between one mechanism alternative mechanism, we find that use a cut-off strategy based on values prices their choices. While do not systematic effect of behavioral factors, strong evidence for the existence gender differences: females...
