Are People Equally Other-Regarding When Selecting a Match vs Choosing an Allocation?∗
There are many assignment processes in which agents are given the opportunity to unilaterally select a match. Resulting allocations can be inefficient if agents do not internalize the consequences of their choice on others. To test this formally, we study how other-regarding behaviour vary across two decision contexts: when subjects make a pure allocation decision; and when they select a partne...
متن کاملAre People Equally Other-Regarding When Picking a Partner vs Choosing an Allocation?∗
We study how other-regarding behaviour vary across two decision contexts: when subjects make a pure allocation decision; and when they pick a partner. In both settings each subject’s decision is final, as in a dictator game; and it affects their payoff and that of other subjects in the same way under both settings. We find that that subjects are less likely to sacrifice their own material wellb...
متن کاملWhen are people persuaded by DNA match statistics?
The way in which statistical DNA evidence is presented to legal decision makers can have a profound impact on the persuasiveness of that evidence. Evidence that is presented one way may convince most people that the suspect is almost certainly the source of DNA evidence recovered from a crime scene. However, when the evidence is presented another way, a sizable minority of people equally convin...
متن کاملFrom search to match: when loan contracts are too long
A model of lending is presented where loans are established in matches between banks (lenders) and entrepreneurs (borrowers) who meet in a search process. Projects turn out randomly a quick payoff or a long-term payoff that requires a rollover of the loan. The model generates, under proper parameter conditions, two steady states without or with rollover, and rollover is socially inefficient. Un...
متن کاملChoosing cross-over designs when few subjects are available
Cross-over designs are used extensively for experiments in many fields. If the n subjects are relatively scarce compared to the t treatments then universally optimal designs do not exist under these restrictions and a computational procedure is usually required to select the design. This arises, for example, if the subjects comprise several animals which are in short supply, due perhaps to weig...
