Becker, Christoph; Kirchmaier, Isadora; Trautmann, Stefan, 2019, "Marriage, Parenthood and Social Network: Subjective Well-Being and Mental Health in Old Age [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/RNHJTE, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:be//4yqdSt2F+1XKYGQOmA== [fileUNF]
Parenthood, marital status and social networks have been shown to relate to the well-being and mental health of older people. Using a large sample of respondents aged 50 and older from 16 European countries, we identify the associations of well-being and mental health with family... |
Bauernschuster, Stefan; Dürsch, Peter; Oechssler, Jörg; Vadovic, Radovan, 2014, "Mandatory Sick Pay Provision: A Labor Market Experiment [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10022, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:QN3j/kE7cRnB9bWCisLgMg== [fileUNF]
The question whether a minimum rate of sick pay should be mandated is much debated. We study the effects of this kind of intervention with student subjects in an experimental laboratory setting rich enough to allow for moral hazard, adverse selection, and crowding out of good int... |

Nikiforakis, Nikos; Oechssler, Jörg; Shah, Anvar, 2019, "Managerial bonuses and subordinate mistreatment [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/876SOV, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:rgdksaMzfE0dDvw+toLLbg== [fileUNF]
Can performance bonuses increase the likelihood that managers coerce their subordinates into exerting high levels of effort when doing so promotes neither efficiency nor equity? We consider a laboratory setting in which managers compete to obtain a large bonus at the end of the e... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Wakker, Peter P., 2018, "Making the Anscombe-Aumann approach to ambiguity suitable for descriptive applications [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/HNN1FW, heiDATA, V1
The Anscombe-Aumann (AA) model, originally introduced to give a normative basis to expected utility, is nowadays mostly used for another purpose: to analyze deviations from expected utility due to ambiguity (unknown probabilities). The AA model makes two ancillary assumptions tha... |

Vollmann, Martin; Schwieren, Christiane; Mattern, Margarete; Schnell, Knut, 2021, "Let the team fix it? - Performance and mood of depressed workers and coworkers in different work contexts [Research data]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PRQILA, heiDATA, V1
Depression in the workplace is a significant factor for reduced personal well-being and productivity. Consequently, this has negative effects on the economic success of the companies in which depressed people are employed. In addition, the economy has to deal with the significant... |

Huck, Steffen; Normann, Hans-Theo; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Learning in Cournot Oligopoly - An Experiment [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10012, heiDATA, V1
This experiment was designed to test various learning theories in the context of a Cournot oligopoly. We derive theoretical predictions for the learning theories and test these predictions by varying the information given to subjects. The results show that some subjects imitate s... |

Fehr, Dietmar; Rau, Hannes; Trautmann, Stefan T.; Yilong, Xu, 2022, "Inequality, fairness and social capital [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/QV5HAH, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:0WCVNazM/mTrcTb4wo/FZQ== [fileUNF]
Inequality is often associated with negative societal consequences, but identifying a causal relationship is a daunting task. We provide evidence on the impact of unjust economic inequality on social interactions. Using a large-scale controlled experiment, we document that unjust... |

Schmidt, Robert; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2021, "Implementing (Un)fair Procedures: Containing Favoritism When Unequal Outcomes are Inevitable [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/APBF7C, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:nKEA/QBp0/zEXIMhsTG2og== [fileUNF]
We study the selection of people when unequal payoffs are inevitable, but fair procedures are feasible, as in selecting one person from several candidates for a job. We show that allocators may be influenced by their similarity with a recipi- ent, leading to favoritism in outcome... |

Buckert, Magdalena; Oechssler, Jörg; Schwieren, Christiane, 2017, "Imitation under stress [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/VYCCZI, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:MAZqxVN4vzEoCVKBRyl1KQ== [fileUNF]
Imitation has been shown to be an important heuristic, in particular in relatively complex environments. In this experiment we test whether subjects are more likely to use imitation if they are under time pressure or distracted. Subjects play a repeated Cournot oligopoly. Treatme... |
