Masatlioglu et al. (2023) show a strong intrinsic preference for positively skewed information over negatively skewed information through three laboratory and two field experiments. Using the provided replication package, we successfully computationally reproduce these results. Additionally, we...

The commitment ability of governments is neither infinite nor zero but intermediate. In this paper, we determine the commitment ability that a government needs to implement a unique equilibrium outcome and rule out self-fulfilling expectations. We show that, in a large class of static...

We study random joint choice rules, allowing for interdependence of choice across agents. These capture random choice by multiple agents, or a single agent across goods or time periods. Of interest are random joint choice rules which have well defined marginal random choice rules.% as this is...

We implemented a field experiment designed to increase participants' willingness to visit a health clinic. We find differential responses to a $50 incentive framed as a loss versus framed as a gain. We find little support for the notion that loss aversion is responsible for the effectiveness of...
