We experimentally investigate the effects of a supervisor's reward power on teammates' self-reported effort information and on team performance. When reporting, teammates exaggerate their own efforts, i.e., they lie. However, they do so less if the supervisor has the power to allocate individual...

Wearable technologies, such as smart glasses allowing assisted or augmented reality (AR) applications, promise to substantially amplify human capabilities in a variety of industrial work contexts. Despite their potential, there is a woeful lack of experimental research that has examined the true...

Economic and social interactions often take place in open communities but the dynamics of the community choice process and its impact on cooperation of its members are yet not well understood. We experimentally investigate community choice in social dilemmas. Participants repeatedly choose...

Economic interactions often take place in open communities, in which agents are free to leave a community to join a more preferred one. Tiebout (1956) conjectured that “voting with feet” might generate considerable efficiency gains since individuals with different preferences sort themselves...

To avoid the dangerous consequences of climate change, humans need to overcome two intertwined conflicts. First, they have to deal with an intra-generational conflict that emerges from the allocation of costs of climate change mitigation among different actors of the current generation. Second,...
