Pollmann, Monique; Potters, Jan; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2016, "Risk taking by agents: The role of ex-ante and ex-post accountability [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10066, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:xAMEsbLcHACMf16SEb4syQ== [fileUNF]
We study the role of accountability in situations where an agent makes risky decisions for a principal. We observe that in the absence of accountability, agents choose less risk averse investments for the principal than investors who invest for their own account. Accountability m... |
Kettner, Sara Elisa; Waichman, Israel, 2016, "Old Age and Prosocial Behavior: Social Preferences or Experimental Confounds? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10067, heiDATA, V1
Experimental and field evidence indicate a positive link between social preferences and age, most strikingly between the elderly and young adults. However, it is possible that the seemingly positive link between age and preferences stems from confounds in experimental procedure.... |
Trinn, Christoph; Heidelberg Institute of International Conflict Research e.V. (HIIK), 2016, "Disaggregated Conflict Dataset (DISCON) 1.0", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10070, heiDATA, V1
The Disaggregated Conflict Dataset (DISCON) has been jointly released by Dr. Christoph Trinn, Institute for Political Science, Heidelberg, and the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research (HIIK). DISCON is based on a broad-based, integrative concept of conflict. D... |
Diederich, Johannes; Goeschl, Timo; Waichman, Israel, 2016, "Group Size and the (In)Efficiency of Pure Public Good Provision [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10069, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:kp1aULj0nca125TUHszBUg== [fileUNF]
Are larger groups better at cooperation than smaller groups? This paper investigates, under controlled conditions, the presence and direction of a possible group size effect in pure public good provision by large heterogeneous groups. Employing subjects drawn from the general pop... |
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... |

Oechssler, Jörg; Roomets, Alex; Roth, Stefan, 2016, "From imitation to collusion: a replication [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10075, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:qSzzvlOu2rl8/AR8TIBEEQ== [fileUNF]
In oligopoly, imitating the most successful competitor yields very competitive outcomes. This theoretical prediction has been confirmed experimentally by a number of studies. A recent paper by Friedman et al. (J Econ Theory 155:185–205, 2015) qualifies those results in an interes... |
Roth, Benjamin; Trautmann, Stefan T.; Voskort, Andrea, 2016, "The role of personal interaction in the assessment of risk attitudes [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10082, heiDATA, V1
Many decisions under uncertainty are delegated to professionals, such as financial advisors or medical doctors, requiring them to assess the risk attitudes of their clients or patients. To gain a better under- standing of the potential factors influencing risk attitude assessment... |
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... |
Drees, Bastian, 2016, "Text und Data Mining an wissenschaftlichen Repositorien und Publikationsservern in Deutschland - Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse einer Umfrage im Februar und März 2016", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10090, heiDATA, V2
Es wurden die auf den Homepages angegebenen Ansprechpartner wissenschaftlicher Repositorien und Publikationsserver in Deutschland zu ihren Erfahrungen mit Text und Data Mining befragt. Die Befragung fand zwischen dem 22. und 26.2.2016 per E-Mail statt. Es wurden Ansprechpartner v... |
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... |
