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, "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... |
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... |

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... |
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... |
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... |
Barkhausen, David; Bloching, Sven; Engeler, Hannah, 2023, "Aufweichen, abbremsen, abschirmen – Wirtschaftsmetaphern zwischen politischer Abgrenzung und diskursiven Allgemeinplätzen [Forschungsdaten]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PSMYRY, heiDATA, V1
Our study examines the use of metaphors in the German discourse regarding European monetary and fiscal policy. Though this policy area sparked considerable interest among linguists, so far there is a lacuna concerning interdisciplinary comparative studies that examine metaphorica... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Kocher, Martin; Pahlke, Julius, 2015, "An Experimental Study of Precautionary Bidding [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10060, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:RnlzAG0nN9/oXQdIQt8fdA== [fileUNF]
Auctions often involve goods exhibiting a common-knowledge ex-post risk. In such auctions, precautionary bidding predicts that under expected utility, DARA bidders reduce their bids by more than the appropriate risk premium. Because the degree of riskiness of an auctioned good an... |
Kocher, Martin G.; Lahno, Amrei Marie; Trautmann,Stefan T., 2017, "Ambiguity aversion is not universal [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/BU56YA, heiDATA, V1
Assuming universal ambiguity aversion, an extensive theoretical literature studies how ambiguity can account for market anomalies from the perspective of expected utility-based theories. We provide a systematic experimental assessment of ambiguity attitudes in different likelihoo... |
Xu, Yilong; Xu, Xiaogeng; Tucker, Steven, 2018, "Ambiguity Attitudes in the Loss Domain: Decisions for Self versus Others [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/MHUGKP, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:SxDjm/HSLtSILr2x39sg5g== [fileUNF]
We study whether people’s ambiguity attitudes differ when deciding for themselves or for others in the loss domain. We find no differences in ambiguity attitudes between self- and other-regarding decision-making. Our results are consistent with the loss part of the fourfold patte... |
