Caste identity and teachers’ biased expectations: Evidence from Bihar, India
Exponential growth bias in the prediction of Covid‐19 spread and economic expectation
Exponential growth bias (EGB) is the pervasive tendency of people to perceive a growth process as linear when in fact it is exponential. We document that people exhibit EGB when asked to predict the number of COVID‐19 positive cases in the future. Using four experimental interventions, we examine the effect of EGB on expectations about future macroeconomic conditions, and investment choices in risky assets. In the first intervention ( Step ), par…
Sexual variation in the inter-triradial distance of the palm among Bengali Hindu population of Kolkata, India
Palm prints are one of the most important forensic tools for human identification in medico-legal investigation. Palm prints are often used for forensic sex estimation to narrow down the pool of suspects through a process of elimination. The aim of this study was to test whether a novel approach of sex estimation from palmar inter-triradial distances previously posited by Badiye and colleagues [Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2019; 65(Mar…

We interpret the evidence as consistent with the conclusion that our participants viewed corruption as just another cost of doing business. We also experimented with giving participants in some treatments information about the corruption expecta…
