Personality preferences in laboratory economics experiments

Evaluating replicability of laboratory experiments in economics.

The replicability of some scientific findings has recently been called into question. To contribute data about replicability in economics, we replicated 18 studies published in the American Economic Review and the Quarterly Journal of Economics between 2011 and 2014. All of these replications followed predefined analysis plans that were made publicly available beforehand, and they all have a st...

Real Phenomena, Theory and Design of Laboratory Experiments in Economics

How should we design laboratory experiments to take these relationships into account? These are some of the most frequently asked questions in experimental economics. This note continues development of a perspective on these questions fro...
