The value of verbal feedback in allocation decisions
Schmidt, Robert J.; Schwieren, Christiane; Vollmann, Martin - 2020
Depending on the context at hand, people's preference for receiving feedback might differ. Especially in allocation decisions that directly concern another individual, feedback from the affected person can have positive or negative value. We study such preferences in a laboratory experiment by...

Do Women give up Competing more easily? Evidence from the Lab and the Dutch Math Olympiad
Buser, Thomas; Yuan, Huaiping - 2016
We conduct three lab experiments and use field data from the Dutch Math Olympiad to study how the gender gap in willingness to compete evolves in response to experience. The main result is that women are more likely than men to stop competing if they lose. In the Dutch Math Olympiad, this means...
