We combine information on social networks with medical records and survey data in order to examine how friends affect one's decision to get vaccinated against the flu. The random assignment of undergraduates to residential halls at a large private university allows us to estimate how peer...

This paper studies how external incentives can help agents to coordinate in summary-statistic games. Agents follow a myopic best-reply rule and face a trade-off between efficiency and strategic uncertainty. A principal can help agents to coordinate on the Pareto optimal equilibrium by monitoring...

Our results indicate that the signal associated to the highest or second highest … response time at the beginning of the experiment are both unbiased estimates of the threshold employed by subjects at the end … of the experiment. This predictive ability is lost when we move to the third or higher response times. Moreover, the …
