Summary The current system of publication in biomedical research provides a distorted view
of the reality of scientific data that are generated in the laboratory and clinic. This system can
be studied by applying principles from the field of economics. The “winner's curse,” a more ...
[CITATION] For love or money? Testing non-pecuniary and pecuniary incentive schemes in a field experiment
Abstract Constructing compensation schemes for effort in multi-dimensional tasks is
complex, particularly when some dimensions are not easily observable. When pecuniary
schemes contractually reward workers for their observable effort, the unrewarded ...

When deviating from best responses, do people have a stronger propensity to increase or
decrease other people's payoffs? Offerman (2002) finds that negative intentions are more
likely to induce payoff decreases than positive intentions are to induce payoff increases. ...
Abstract: In randomized control laboratory experiments, we find that those primed to think
about markets exhibit more trusting behavior. We randomly and unconsciously prime
experimental participants to think about markets and trade. We then ask them to play a ...

O Al-Ubaydli, S Anderson, U Gneezy… - working paper, University of Chicago
Abstract: Why do African and Middle Eastern countries seem cursed by an abundance of
natural resources yet USA, Australia and Norway seem blessed? A growing literature has
argued that the benevolence or malignance of natural resources depends upon the ...
Abstract: Coordination games have become a critical tool of analysis in fields such as
development and institutional economics. Understanding behavior in coordination games is
an important step towards understanding the differing success of teams, firms and nations. ...
Abstract: This paper addresses three questions:(1) When deciding on whether to reward or
punish someone, how does how you think others expect you to behave affect your
decision?(2) Does it depend upon whether others expect you to reward them vs. punish ...

This study explores empirically the price dynamics within two distinct market institutions–a
double oral auction, which resembles modern asset markets, and a bilateral exchange
market, which represents markets that have existed for centuries. To provide a theoretical ...
A stylized fact is that agents respond more acutely to negative than positive stimuli. Such
findings have generated insights on mechanism-design, have been featured prominently in
policymaking, and more generally have led to discussions of whether preferences are ...
Abstract: In games with multiple, Pareto-rankable equilibria and repeated play, does a
history of playing an inefficient equilibrium make it harder for the players to reach the
efficient equilibrium? In other words, can people'get stuck'in bad equilibria? Previous ...

Abstract: Volunteering is a significant component of economic activity, especially for
environmental organizations. Environmental organizations that rely on volunteers
communicate with them using a variety of media, such as newsletters. This is a field ...

Conclusion We have argued against the conventional treatment of science from two
directions: firstly, we show that its assumptions about the mechanics of technology transfer
are at odds with what occurs in practice. Secondly, the predictions of models based on ...

Abstract: Over 25% of the US population volunteers. Clary et al.(1998) devised a survey that
identifies a volunteer's primary motive for volunteering. We investigate the effect of tailoring
the communications that volunteers receive from their organizations (eg, printed ...

Abstract In games with multiple, Pareto-rankable equilibria and repeated play, does a history
of playing an inefficient equilibrium make it harder for players to reach the efficient
equilibrium? In other words, can people “get stuck” in bad equilibria? Previous studies ...

2. Abstract Endogenous growth theory is based on a misperception of how science and
technology are acquired and diffused. In particular, it is incorrect to assume that knowledge
is freely available. Any knowledge which has economic value has to be accessed via the ...
[CITATION] Economies of Scope in Coordination and the Relationship between Democracy and Development

2. Abstract Empirical evidence shows the flaws in the 'linear model'of economic growth-in
which government funds pure science which leads to applied science and enhanced
economic growth. Adam Smith's model-in which academic science flows out of applied ...
Abstract A Chamberlin market is a trading institution with multiple traders, decentralized
bilateral bargaining and publicly declared transaction prices (Chamberlin (1948)). This

Abstract. Current methods of disseminating scholarly information focus on the use of
journals who retain exclusive rights in the material they publish. Using a simple model we
explore the reasons for the development of the traditional journal model, why it is no ...
[CITATION] Research Unbound through Open Access: A Panel Discussion
J Serene, R Schatz, D Cohen… - 2012
ABSTRACT Economists are increasingly turning to the experimental method as a means to
estimate causal effects. By using randomization to identify key treatment effects, theories
previously viewed as untestable are now scrutinized, efficacy of public policies are now ...
Abstract: The work of Friedrich Von Hayek contains several testable predictions about the
nature of market processes. Vernon Smith termed the most important one the'Hayek
Hypothesis': equilibrium prices and the gains from trade can be achieved in the presence ...
