Anti-immigrant sentiment is frequently motivated by the idea that migrants are a threat to the host country’s culture (Rapoport et al., 2020). We contribute to the discussion by investigating whether or not migrants adapt their social preferences (SP... Read More about Migration and social preferences.

Gender pay and productivity in UK universities: Evidence from research-intensive Business Schools (2022)
Journal Article

Participants were endowed with a cash amount as a budget to purchase any desired quantity of d... Read More about Is local and organic produce less satiating? Some evidence from a field experiment.

Entry and exit decisions under public and private information: an experiment (2022)
Journal Article

We design an experiment to study how reversible entry decisions are affected by public and private payoff disclosure policies. In our environment, subjects choose between a risky payoff, which evolves according to an autoregressive process, and a con...

This study addresses the question whether an ‘attention reminder’ in discrete choice experiments (DCE) affects preferences, willingness to pay (WTP), and attribute non-attendance (ANA). We report on an experiment which elicited preferences for livest...

Informational price cascades and non-aggregation of asymmetric information in experimental asset markets (2022)

We report on experimental markets which generate an abject failure of the aggregation of asymmetric information. While realized prices have zero correlation with fundamental values, surprisingly, these are not highly volatile. The non-aggregation of...
