Trautmann, Stefan T.; Kuilen, Gijs van de, 2014, "Belief Elicitation: A Horse Race among Truth Serums [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10004, heiDATA, V3, UNF:5:rdLqOxsqtpO3QKanCTJFPw== [fileUNF]
We pit non-incentivized introspection against five revealed preference mechanisms (“truth serums”) in the elicitation of beliefs in a simple two-player game. We measure the additivity, the predictive power for own behaviour, and the accuracy of each method. Beliefs from incentivi... |
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... |

Krawczyk, Michal; Trautmann, Stefan T.; van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2016, "Catastrophic Risk: Social Influences on Insurance Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10096, heiDATA, V1
We study behavioral patterns of insurance demand for low-probability large-loss events (catastrophic losses). Individual patterns of belief formation and risk attitude that were suggested in the behavioral decisions literature emerge robustly in the current set of insurance choic... |
Dengler, Sebastian; Gerlagh, Reyer; Trautmann, Stefan T.; van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2019, "Climate policy commitment devices [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/R8HGIB, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:G5JiC8JlmlC3TYlJ68qogw== [fileUNF]
We develop a dynamic resource extraction game that mimics the global multi-generation planning problem for climate change and fossil fuel extraction. We implement the game under different conditions in the laboratory. Compared to a baseline condition, we find that policy interven... |

Oechssler, Jörg; Roider, Andreas; Schmitz, Patrick W., 2018, "Cognitive Abilities and Behavioral Biases [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/FC6TFM, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:Ur0lg1+9V8E/LgM9GE822w== [fileUNF]
We use a simple, three-item test for cognitive abilities to investigate whether established behavioral biases that play a prominent role in behavioral economics and finance are related to cognitive abilities.We find that higher test scores on the cognitive reflection test of Fred... |
Waichman, Israel; Requate, Till; Siang, Ch’ng Kean, 2015, "Communication in Cournot competition: An experimental study [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10049, heiDATA, V2
This study investigates the impact of communication on outcomes in Cournot duopoly and triopoly experiments. Communication is implemented by two different devices, a ‘standardized-communication’ and a ‘free-communication’ device. Using both students and managers as subjects, we f... |

Oechssler, Jörg; Roider, Andreas; Schmitz, Patrick W., 2018, "Cooling Off in Negotiations: Does it Work? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/GPYRWB, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:Cbv7eaNL5WmdjsNqlQQScQ== [fileUNF]
Negotiations frequently end in conflict after one party rejects a final offer. In a large-scale Internet experiment, we investigate whether a 24-hour cooling-off period leads to fewer rejections in ultimatum bargaining. We conduct a standard cash treatment and a lottery treatment... |

Apesteguia, Jose; Oechssler, Jörg; Weidenholzer, Simon, 2020, "Copy Trading [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PAMQ0B, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:GrGXrQgTcdgZl5admIPidA== [fileUNF]
Copy trading allows traders in social networks to receive information on the success of other agents in financial markets and to directly copy their trades. Internet platforms like eToro, ZuluTrade, and Tradeo have attracted millions of users in recent years. The present paper st... |
