We study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account …-game learning for cognitively less able participants but does not affect overbidding for the cognitively more able. Vice versa …, 'cross-game learning' may rather be understood as 'cross-game transfer', as it has the potential to benefit bidders with …

Cognitive skills and the development of strategic sophistication
Fe, Eduardo; Gill, David - 2018
The wage effect of job-education vertical mismatch (i.e. overeducation) has only recently been investigated in the case of Ph.D. holders. The existing contributions rely on OLS estimates that allow measuring the average effect of being mismatched at the mean of the conditional wages...

Peer Effects in Risk Taking
Lahno, Amrei M.; Serra-Garcia, Marta - CESifo - 2012
We examine peer effects in risk taking with complete information and compare explanations for peer effects based on relative payoff concerns to explanations that allow peer choices to matter. We vary experimentally whether individuals can condition a simple lottery choice on the lottery choice,...

Weele, Joël J. van der; Siemens, Ferdinand von - CESifo - 2014
Self-signaling theory argues that individuals partly behave prosocially to create or uphold a favorable self-image. To study self-signaling theory, we investigate whether increasing self-image concerns affects charitable giving. In our experiment subjects divide 20 euros between themselves and a...
