Gender differences in willingness to guess revisited: Heterogeneity in a high stakes professional setting
Gender Gaps in Access to Medical Intern Positions: The Role of Competition
Economic consequences of gender differences in behavior
A randomised control trial on the impact of nudges, information and incentives on food choices of vulnerable families
This study examines the impact of information, nudges and cash aid on food choices among vulnerable families receiving Red Cross aid in Spain. We use data on 1429 participants of a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) ran across 73 branches of the Red Cross in Catalonia, a region of Spain. While all RCT participants received cash-aid food vouchers, they were randomised to the following additional treatment arms: i) informational intervention about t…
Understanding performance in test taking: The role of question difficulty order
Competitive Pressure Widens the Gender Gap in Performance: Evidence from a Two-stage Competition in Mathematics
In two-stage elimination math contests, participants from four different age groups compete to pass from stage 1 to stage 2 and later to be among the winners. Although female participants have higher maths grades at school the gender gap reverses in the two stages of the contests. More importantly, following the same individual participant across different stages, we find that the gender gap in performance increases from stage 1 to stage 2. The i…
When and Why Incentives (Don't) Work to Modify Behavior
First we discuss how extrinsic incentives may come into conflict with other motivations. For example, monetary incentives from principals may change how tasks are perceived by agents, with negative effects on behavior. In other cases, incentives might have the desired effects in the short term, but they still weaken intrinsic motivations. To put it in concrete terms, an incentive for a child to learn to read might achieve that goal in the short t…
Endogenous Leadership in Teams
We study the mechanics of leading by example in teams. Leadership is beneficial for the entire team when agents are conformists, i.e., dislike effort differentials. We also show how leadership can arise endogenously and discuss what type of leader benefits a team most.
