Braun, Sebastian; Kübler, Dorothea; Dwenger, Nadja - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
We investigate the matching algorithm used by the German central clearinghouse for university admissions (ZVS) in … criteria applied for admission they all make use of priority matching. In priority matching schemes, it is not a dominant … applicants, we are able to detect some amount of strategic behaviour which can lead to inefficient matching. Alternative ways to …

Dividing Justly in Bargaining Problems with Claims: Normative Judgments and Actual Negotiations
Gächter, Simon; Riedl, Arno - 2004
Theoretical research on claims problems has concentrated on normative properties and axiomatizations of solution concepts. We complement these analyses by empirical evidence on the predictability of three classical solution concepts in a bankruptcy problem. We examine both people's impartial...

Strategic ignorance in bargaining
Conrads, Julian; Irlenbusch, Bernd - 2011
In his classic article An Essay on Bargaining Schelling (1956) argues that ignorance might actually be strength rather than weakness. We test and confirm Schelling's conjecture in a simple take-it-or-leave bargaining experiment where the proposer can choose between two possible offers. Option A...

The Meritocratic Illusion: Inequality and the Cognitive Basis of Redistribution
Blouin, Arthur; Mani, Anandi; Mukand, Sharun; Sgroi, Daniel - 2024
Can inequality in rewards result in an erosion in broad-based support for meritocratic norms? We hypothesize that unequal rewards between the successful and the rest, drives a cognitive gap in their meritocratic beliefs, and hence their social preferences for redistribution. Two separate...

Canonical correlation and assortative matching: A remark
Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - 2012
In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

Market Design and Moral Behavior
Kirchler, Michael; Huber, Jürgen; Stefan, Matthias; … - 2015
In an experiment with 739 subjects we study whether and how different interventions might have an influence on the degree of moral behavior when subjects make decisions that can generate negative externalities on uninvolved parties. Particularly, subjects can either take money for themselves or...
