Peer Effects in Computer Assisted Learning: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment∗
We conduct a large scale experiment to investigate peer effects in computer assisted learning (CAL). Identification relies on three levels of randomization. We find an average 0.17 standard deviation improvement in math scores among primary school students. This average effect is the same for students treated individually or in pairs, implying that peer effects double the learning benefit from ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Gender Diversity on the Performance of Business Teams: Evidence from a Field Experiment
This paper reports about a field experiment conducted to estimate the impact of the share of women in management teams on their business performance. As part of their curriculum, undergraduate students in business studies start up a team venture. We manipulated the gender composition of teams and assigned students, conditional on their gender, randomly to teams. We find that management teams wi...
متن کاملSocializing at Work: Evidence from a Field Experiment with Manufacturing
This paper examines how working alongside friends affects employee productivity, how much employees value socializing at work, and how these results are heterogeneous with respect to an employee’s non-cognitive skills. I designed and implemented a field experiment at a seafoodprocessing plant in Vietnam in which, each day, workers were randomly assigned to work stations within the processing ro...
متن کاملSelf-Control at Work: Evidence from a Field Experiment
How important are self-control problems at work? We describe a field experiment with data entry workers designed to answer this question. We examine two proxies for self-control and find evidence on both. First, workers’ effort increases as the (randomly assigned) payday gets closer, with productivity increases on paydays corresponding to 7% of mean daily production. Second, when given the choi...
متن کاملDo Workers Work More When Wages Are High? Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment
Do Workers Work More When Wages Are High? Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment Most previous studies on intertemporal labor supply found very small or insignificant substitution effects. It is not clear, however, whether these results are due to institutional constraints on workers’ labor supply choices or whether the behavioral assumptions of the standard life cycle model with time sepa...
