Apesteguia, Jose; Huck, Jose; Oechssler, Jörg, 2014, "Imitation - Theory and Experimental Evidence [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10019, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:5pL5x5wCWhIWWBXoTb46LA== [fileUNF]
We introduce a generalized theoretical approach to study imitation and subject it to rigorous experimental testing. In our theoretical analysis we find that the different predictions of previous imitation models are mainly explained by different informational assumptions, and to... |

Apesteguia, Jose; Huck, Steffen; Oechssler, Jörg; Weidenholzer, Simon, 2014, "Imitation and the Evolution of Walrasian Behavior: Theoretically Fragile but Behaviorally [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10021, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:9uTZvsy6tiSJe0U8/cdxPw== [fileUNF]
A well-known result by Vega-Redondo (1997) [18] implies that in symmetric Cournot oligopolies, imitation leads to the Walrasian outcome. We show that this result is not robust to the slightest asymmetry in costs, since every outcome where agents choose identical actions will be p... |

Eichberger, Jürgen; Oechssler, Jörg; Schnedler, Wendelin, 2014, "How do subjects view multiple sources of ambiguity? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10023, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:opzxnDkbHOo4fM7i9CoiIw== [fileUNF]
As illustrated by the famous Ellsberg paradox, many subjects prefer to bet on events with known rather than with unknown probabilities, i.e., they are ambiguity averse. In an experiment, we examine subjects’ choices when there is an additional source of ambiguity, namely, when th... |
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... |
Bauernschuster, Stefan; Dürsch, Peter; Oechssler, Jörg; Vadovic, Radovan, 2014, "Mandatory Sick Pay Provision: A Labor Market Experiment [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10022, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:QN3j/kE7cRnB9bWCisLgMg== [fileUNF]
The question whether a minimum rate of sick pay should be mandated is much debated. We study the effects of this kind of intervention with student subjects in an experimental laboratory setting rich enough to allow for moral hazard, adverse selection, and crowding out of good int... |

Strötgen, Jannik; Gertz, Michael, 2014, "WikiWarsDE Corpus", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10026, heiDATA, V1
The WikiWarsDE corpus is a German corpus containing Wikipedia articles with annotations of temporal expressions. Its creation was motivated by the English WikiWars corpus (Mazur & Dale 2010). WikiWarsDE was developed to support research on temporal information extraction and norm... |

Jerabek, Hansjörg; Tark-Dame, Mariliis; Manders, Erik M. M.; Heermann, Dieter W.; van Driel, Roel, 2014, "Depletion of the chromatin looping proteins CTCF and cohesin causes chromatin compaction [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10028, heiDATA, V4
Simulations using an advanced version of the Dynamic Loop model were performed to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the experimental finding that the reduction of the chromatin looping proteins CTCF and cohesin leads to chromatin compaction. |

De Allegri, Manuela; Kalmus, Olivier; Wang, Qun, 2014, "Out-of-pocket Expenditure on Chronic Non-communicable Diseases in Rural Malawi [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10029, heiDATA, V3, UNF:5:eYzC7g7HhBKhOIIzq+3M0g== [fileUNF]
Data was collected in household survey conducted in the 2 rural districts of Thyolo and Chiradzulu in southern Malawi. The main purpose of the study was to determine the factors that influence health seeking behaviour of people with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as wel... |

Oechssler, Jörg; Schmidt, Carsten; Schnedler, Wendelin, 2014, "On the Ingredients for Bubble Formation: Informed Traders and Communication [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10018, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:CfRgi4YFxqGebpDZgTc48w== [fileUNF]
Bubbles in asset markets have been documented in numerous experiments. Most experiments in which bubbles occur feature a declining fundamental value. This feature has been criticized for being atypical of real financial markets. Here, we experimentally study other ingredients for... |

Nikiforakis, Nikos; Oechssler, Jörg; Shah, Anwar, 2014, "Hierarchy, Coercion, and Exploitation: An Experimental Analysis [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10015, heiDATA, V3, UNF:5:Vep1OzKyX8y7uU4Zs/av/g== [fileUNF]
The power to coerce workers is important for the efficient operation of hierarchically structured organizations. However, this power can also be used by managers to exploit their subordinates for their own benefit. We examine the relationship between the power to coerce and explo... |
