Günther, Christina; Arslan Ekinci, Neslihan; Schwieren, Christiane; Strobel, Martin, 2015, "Women can´t jump?—An experiment on competitive attitudes and stereotype threat [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10052, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:MFh9Pa5Rh/urnBELIzJ4uA== [fileUNF]
Gneezy et al. (2003) offer a partial explanation for the wage gap between men and women. In an experiment they found that women react less to competitive incentives. The task they used in their experiment can however be considered a male task. We replicate the experiment and exte... |

Diederich, Johannes; Goeschl, Timo, 2014, "Willingness to Pay for Voluntary Climate Action and Its Determinants: Field-Experimental Evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10030, heiDATA, V2
The determinants of individual, voluntary climate action (VCA) in combating climate change and its potential scale are frequently debated in public but largely underresearched. We provide estimates of the willingness to individually reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by one ton,... |
Vanberg, Christoph, 2014, "Why do people keep their promises? An experimental test of two explanations", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10032, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:LLxs3XkQ6C/SySd6VWVBWQ== [fileUNF]
Numerous psychological and economic experiments have shown that the exchange of promises greatly enhances cooperative behavior in experimental games. This paper seeks to test two theories to explain this effect. The first posits that individuals have a preference for keeping thei... |
Tosun, Jale; Heinz-Fischer, Christin; Luo, Rui, 2023, "Who takes the lead? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/SRLY2K, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:Yzlpf9ASvRdVtMllNS0wrg== [fileUNF]
Action is needed from all the major emitting economies if we are to achieve global net-zero carbon dioxide emissions. Climate action takes place at various levels of the political system. In this study, we concentrate on cooperation between the major economies on clean energy tec... |
Vanberg, Christoph, 2016, "Who never tells a lie? [Data set and Programs]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10087, heiDATA, V1
I experimentally investigate the hypothesis that many people avoid lying even in a situation where doing so would result in a Pareto improvement. Replicating (Erat and Gneezy, Management Science 58, 723-733, 2012), I find that a significant fraction of subjects tell the truth in... |

Tosun, Jale; Rinscheid, Adrian, 2022, "What Drives Engagement in the Clean Energy Ministerial? An Assessment of Domestic-Level Factors [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PVQVWW, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:QwjNtOHS1nnVsCIBHgxPMg== [fileUNF]
This study concentrates on the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) as one of several high-level global forums on climate change governance. The CEM can be conceptualised as a ‘polycentric’ organisation in which its members collaborate on a wide range of issues concerning the clean ene... |

Trautmann, Stefan T.; Xu, Yilong; König‑Kersting, Christian; Patenaude, Bryan N.; Harling, Guy; Sié, Ali; Bärnighausen, Till, 2022, "Value of statistical life year in extreme poverty: a randomized experiment of measurement methods in rural Burkina Faso [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/WPWTWE, heiDATA, V1
Background: Value of a Statistical Life Year (VSLY) provides an important economic measure of an individual’s trade‑off between health risks and other consumption, and is a widely used policy parameter. Measuring VSLY is complex though, especially in low‑income and low‑literacy c... |

Becker, Johannes G.; Damianov, Damian S.; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Uniform vs. discriminatory auctions with variable supply – experimental evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10013, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:JkjthKWUQF+SGftTh1TTyg== [fileUNF]
In the variable supply auction considered here, the seller decides how many customers with unit demand to serve after observing their bids. Bidders are uncertain about the seller's cost. We experimentally investigate whether a uniform or a discriminatory price auction is better f... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Brown, Martin; Vlahu, Razvan, 2016, "Understanding Bank-Run Contagion [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10074, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:KUriC0VYM6pSi7sO2HjL/g== [fileUNF]
We study experimental coordination games to examine through which transmission channels, and under which information conditions, a panic-based depositor-run at one bank may trigger a panic-based depositor-run at another bank. We find that withdrawals at one bank trigger withdrawa... |

Huck, Steffen; Normann, Hans-Theo; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Two are Few and Four are Many: Number Effects in Experimental Oligopoly [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10017, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:ZO79Xsj/X7piQu3p8pQheg== [fileUNF]
In this paper we investigate how the competitiveness of Cournot markets varies with the number of firms in an industry. We review previous Cournot experiments in the literature. Additionally, we conduct a new series of experiments studying oligopolies with two, three, four, and f... |
