Abstract A long line of laboratory experiments has found that women are less likely to sort into competitive environments. Although part this effect may be explained by gender differences in risk attitudes and self-confidence, previous studies have attributed the majority gap a competitiveness trait. I re-examine result using novel experiment allows me separate from alternative explanations causal treatments. In contradiction main conclusion drawn literature, my results imply entire is...
We experimentally investigate behavioral drivers of bribery, focusing on the role self-interest, reciprocity, and moral costs associated with distorting judgment. In our laboratory experiment, two participants compete for a prize; referee picks winner. Participants can bribe referee. When keep only winner's bribe, bribes distort her keeps regardless winner, no longer influence decision. An experiment in an Indian market confirms these results. These findings imply that are influenced by out...
A recent literature emphasizes that gender differences in the labor market may part be driven by a gap willingness to compete. However, whereas experiments this typically investigate compete private environments, real world competitions often have more public nature, which introduces potential social image concerns. If such concerns are important, and men women differ degree they want seen as competitive, making tournament entry decisions publicly observable further exacerbate gap. We test...
University students have been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We present results from first wave of Global Student Survey, which was administered at 28 universities in United States, Spain, Australia, Sweden, Austria, Italy, and Mexico between April October 2020. The survey addresses contemporaneous outcomes future expectations regarding three fundamental aspects students' lives pandemic: labor market, education, health. document differential responses as a function their...
A large number of recent experimental studies show that women are less likely to sort into competitive environments. While part this effect may be explained by gender differences in risk attitudes and overconfidence, previous have attributed the majority gap a separate \'competitiveness\' trait. We re-examine result using novel technique allows us competitiveness from alternative explanations design. In contrast literature, our results imply whole is driven which has important implications...
Many professional and educational settings require individuals to be willing able perform under time pressure. We use a laboratory experiment survey data study preferences for working make three main contributions. First, we develop an incentivized method measure pressure document that participants in our are averse on average. Second, show there is substantial heterogeneity the degree of aversion across these individual can partially captured by simple questions. Third, include questions...
This paper reports the results of a lab experiment designed to study role observability for peer effects in setting simple production task. In our experiment, participants workers engage team real-effort We vary whether they can observe, or be observed by, one their co-workers. contrast earlier findings from field, we find no evidence that low-productivity perform better when are by high-productivity Instead, imply heterogeneous, with some reciprocating co-worker but others taking...

This study uses the methods of experimental economics to investigate possible causes for failure Hotelling rule nonrenewable resources. We argue that as long resource stocks are high enough, producers may choose (partially) ignore dynamic component their production decision, shifting present and focusing more on strategic behavior. experimentally vary stock size in a duopoly setting find with indeed pay significantly less attention variables related optimization, leading rule.
We use a laboratory experiment to investigate novel reason for the lack of empirical support Hotelling rule nonrenewable resources. Specifically, we test whether producers with large resource stocks focus less on dynamic component their extraction decision, making them shift present and more strategic behavior. Exploiting exogenous variation in stock size duopoly experiment, find that indeed pay significantly attention optimization, present, leading overproduce relative rule.
Being at the frontier with regard to sustainable aspects of manufacturing may serve as competitive advantage due increasing trend consumer awareness. In order adhere consequent pressure from external stakeholders such customers, investors, competitors, interest groups and local municipals, companies voluntarily overcomply social environmental norms. This paper explores incentives for industry embrace overcompliance a strategic means gain take lead in manufacturing. Examples recent industrial...
