Schmidt, Robert, 2019, "Capitalizing on the (False) Consensus Effect: Two Tractable Methods to Elicit Private Information [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/7WGSTU, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:NNk+dDpsSu2ZXVMSVkJtQQ== [fileUNF]
We propose and experimentally test two tractable methods to incentivize the elicitation of private information: Benchmark and Coordination. Both mechanisms capitalize on the false consensus effect, a well-documented phenomenon that follows Bayesian reasoning. That is, individuals... |
Schmidt, Robert, 2019, "Do Injunctive or Descriptive Social Norms Elicited Using Coordination Games Better Explain Social Preferences? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/Z7IKIU, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:naic0kj9nUrUokAIwMt12A== [fileUNF]
We experimentally study the relationship between social norms and social preferences on the individual level. Subjects coordinate on injunctive and descriptive norms, and we test which type of norm is more strongly related to behavior in a series of dictator games. Our experiment... |
Schmidt, Robert, 2019, "Point Beauty Contest: Measuring the Distribution of Focal Points on the Individual Level [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PA87NV, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:XeJX5PG6nEvxhO8ACToIDQ== [fileUNF]
We propose the Point Beauty Contest, a mechanism to identify the distribution of focal points on the individual level. By contrast to conventional coordination, subjects coordinate by the distribution of points. This allows for nuanced coordination strategies, as subjects can inv... |
Schmidt, Robert, 2019, "Norms in the Lab: Inexperienced versus Experienced Participants", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/SS8CBF, heiDATA, V2, UNF:6:4c/ba9USuo/U6JX/7Gh1Mw== [fileUNF]
Using coordination games, we study whether social norm perception differs between inexperienced and experienced participants in economic laboratory experiments. We find substantial differences between the two groups, both regarding injunctive and descriptive social norms in the c... |
