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...
Does Information about Competitors' Actions Increase or Decrease Competition in Experimental Oligopoly Markets? [Dataset] Jul 31, 2014 Huck, Steffen; Normann, Hans-Theo; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Does Information about Competitors' Actions Increase or Decrease Competition in Experimental Oligopoly Markets? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10020, heiDATA, V1 This paper investigates the impact the publication of firm-specific data has on the competitiveness of experimental oligopoly markets. We compare two treatments: in one, firms are informed about their rivals’ actions and profits. In the other, firms are only given aggregate infor...
Learning in Cournot Oligopoly - An Experiment [Dataset] Jul 29, 2014 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...

On the Ingredients for Bubble Formation: Informed Traders and Communication [Dataset] Oct 28, 2014 Oechssler, Jörg; Schmidt, Carsten; Schnedler, Wendelin, 2014, "On the Ingredients for Bubble Formation: Informed Traders and Communication [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10018, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:CfRgi4YFxqGebpDZgTc48w== [fileUNF] Bubbles in asset markets have been documented in numerous experiments. Most experiments in which bubbles occur feature a declining fundamental value. This feature has been criticized for being atypical of real financial markets. Here, we experimentally study other ingredients for...
Payment Procedure in a Public Good Game Experiment: The Effects of Endowment Timing, Tangibility, and Source [Dataset] Nov 7, 2016 Waichman, Israel; Voss, Andreas, 2016, "Payment Procedure in a Public Good Game Experiment: The Effects of Endowment Timing, Tangibility, and Source [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10094, heiDATA, V1 We study whether and how payment procedure affects behavior in a repeated public good game. To this end, we conducted five treatments, varying the times of paying the initial endowment (week before, before, or after the decisions) and the source of the initial endowment (windfall...
