Do women shy away from risky skill games? [Replication package] May 19, 2023 Lambrecht, Marco; Oechssler, Jörg, 2023, "Do women shy away from risky skill games? [Replication package]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/WVBHDQ, heiDATA, V1 A risky skill game is a game in which skill plays an important role but outcomes are also strongly inﬂuenced by random factors. Examples are poker or blackjack but also many economic activities like trading on ﬁnancial markets. In an online experiment we let subjects choose how o...
Premium auctions and risk preferences: An experimental study [Dataset] Apr 5, 2023 Brunner, Christoph; Hu, Audrey; Oechssler, Jörg, 2023, "Premium auctions and risk preferences: An experimental study [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PWBT4U, heiDATA, V2, UNF:6:RjmtzIOU743u9SF+08bMgg== [fileUNF] In premium auctions, the highest losing bidder receives a reward from the seller. This paper studies the private value English premium auction (EPA) for different risk attitudes of bidders. We explicitly derive the symmetric equilibrium for bidders with CARA utilities and conduct...
Does Happiness Increase in Old Age? Longitudinal Evidence from 20 European Countries [Dataset] Nov 22, 2022 Becker, Christoph K.; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2022, "Does Happiness Increase in Old Age? Longitudinal Evidence from 20 European Countries [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/CVMANS, heiDATA, V1 Several studies indicate that happiness follows a U-shape over the life cycle: Happiness decreases after the teenage years until reaching its nadir in middle age. A similar number of studies views the U-shape critically, stating that it is the result of the wrong controls or the...
The conditional contribution mechanism for repeated public goods - The general case [Data & Replication package] Jun 3, 2022 Oechssler, Jörg; Reischmann, Andreas; Sofianos, Andis, 2022, "The conditional contribution mechanism for repeated public goods - The general case [Data & Replication package]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/ZPTF1X, heiDATA, V1 We present a new and simple mechanism for repeated public good environments. In the Conditional Contribution Mechanism (CCM), agents send two messages of the form, “I am willing to contribute x units to the public good if in total y units are contributed.” This mechanism offers a...

Inequality, fairness and social capital [Dataset] Apr 8, 2022 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...

Implementing (Un)fair Procedures: Containing Favoritism When Unequal Outcomes are Inevitable [Dataset] Oct 25, 2021 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...
Let the team fix it? - Performance and mood of depressed workers and coworkers in different work contexts [Research data] Sep 24, 2021 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...
