Recent research has shown that women shy away from competition more often than men. We evaluate experimentally three alternative policy interventions to promote women in competitions: Quotas, Preferential Treatment, and Repetition of the Competition unless a critical number of female winners is...

This paper studies the effect of endogenous group formation on the outcome in two types of coordination games with … more groups within which they want to play the coordination game. In the theoretical part we show that a simple myopic best … reply dynamics under endogenous group formation leads to the payoff dominant outcome in both types of coordination games …

We study (anti-) coordination problems in networks in a laboratory experiment. Participants interact with their … neighbours in a fixed network to play a bilateral (anti-) coordination game.

We explore the influence of social norms on behavior. To do so, we introduce a method for identifying norms, based on the property that social norms reflect social consensus regarding the appropriateness of different possible behaviors. We demonstrate that the norms we elicit, along with a...
