Wäschle, Katharina; Riezler, Stefan, 2014, "PatTR: Patent Translation Resource", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10002, heiDATA, V3
PatTR is a sentence-parallel corpus extracted from the MAREC patent collection. The current version contains more than 22 million German-English and 18 million French-English parallel sentences collected from all patent text sections as well as 5 million German-French sentence pa... |

Dürsch, Peter; Kolb, Albert; Oechssler, Jörg; Schipper, Burkhard C., 2014, "Rage Against the Machines: How Subjects Learn to Play Against Computers [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10024, heiDATA, V3, UNF:5:UE+VbT403TpvbwYdzJeHMQ== [fileUNF]
We use a large-scale internet experiment to explore how subjects learn to play against computers that are programmed to follow one of a number of standard learning algorithms. The learning theories are (unbeknown to subjects) a best response process, fictitious play, imitation, r... |
Dürsch, Peter; Oechssler, Jörg; Vadovic, Radovan, 2014, "Sick Pay Provision in Experimental Labor Markets [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10010, heiDATA, V2, UNF:6:gwZx9SQucrST4uvXCxHw0w== [fileUNF]
Sick pay is a common provision in most labor contracts. This paper employs an experimental gift exchange environment to explore two related questions using both managers and undergraduates as subjects. First, do workers reciprocate generous sick pay with higher effort? Second, do... |

Huck, Steffen; Normann, Hans-Theo; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Stability of the Cournot Process - Experimental Evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10014, heiDATA, V1
We report results of experiments designed to test the predictions of the best-reply process. In a Cournot oligopoly with four firms, the best-reply process should theoretically explode if demand and cost functions are linear. We find, however, no experimental evidence of such ins... |

The Statistical Natural Language Processing Group is part of the Department of Computational Linguistics. Our research addresses various aspects of the problem of the confusion of languages, by means of statistical learning techniques. Research topics include the following: Stati... |
Kocher, Martin G.; Pahlke, Julius; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2014, "Tempus Fugit: Time Pressure in Risky Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10006, heiDATA, V2
We study the effects of time pressure on risky decisions for pure gain prospects, pure loss prospects, and mixed prospects involving both gains and losses. In two experiments we find that time pressure has no effect on risk attitudes for gains, but increases risk aversion for los... |

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... |

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... |
