Replication
In Dictator Games, we manipulate whether the endowment is randomly assigned or earned by the dictator or the recipient, in a conceptual replication of Oxoby and Spraggon (2008) and Cherry et al. (2002). Our experimental sample comes from Bogota (Colombia). The experiments introduced performance thresholds based on Cherry et al. (2002), creating low-and high-stakes conditions. Our results confirm that the endowment’s origin shapes allocation decis…

The impact of labour market shocks on mental health
In this study, we estimate the effect of a negative labour market shock on individuals' levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. We use a dataset collected during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, on a representative sample of citizens from Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, interviewed on three occasions. We measure stress, anxiety and depression and labour shocks using validated scales. Our research design is a standard difference-i…
Less is more
Food labels have been used extensively for informing consumers to make more rational and safer decisions. However, this carries the risk of confusing consumers with multiple claims which may distract from key information such as the country of origin of the product. To inform the European legislation, we have tested labels on fish and aquaculture products in three separate experiments, across several European Member States. The main results showe…
Unfair commercial practices in a pit market
Commercial practices such as drip pricing, reference pricing and best-price guarantee can be used to set higher prices and mislead consumers, but protective measures can restore efficiency. In a placebo-controlled market experiment, we examined a treatment allowing for the use and misuse of commercial practices. Three additional treatments tested the effects of formal sanctions, informal sanctions and a regret nudge. We found that commercial prac…
Trust and trustworthiness after a land restitution program
Expert endorsement and the legitimacy of public policy. Evidence from Covid19 mitigation strategies
During a pandemic, the government requires active compliance by citizens. While these demands can be enforced with rewards and punishments, legitimacy allows the government to achieve the same results with greater cost effectiveness. The way in which a government can acquire substantive legitimacy depends on how it communicates and justifies its decisions. In this article, we measure revealed legitimacy, via approval of three potential mitigation…
Restarting 'Normal' Life after Covid-19 and the Lockdown
In this article, we examine the expectations of the economic outlook, fear of the future, and behavioural change during the first Covid-19 wave, for three European countries (Spain, the United Kingdom, and Italy) that have been severely hit. We use a novel dataset that we collected to monitor the three countries during the crisis. As outcome variables, we used expectations (e.g., economic outlook, labour market situation, recovery), fear (e.g., s…
Does a ‘protective’ message reduce the impact of an advergame promoting unhealthy foods to children? An experimental study in Spain and The Netherlands
The Pavitt Taxonomy, revisited
An introduction to the special issue on “the behavioural turn in public policy
Labels as nudges? An experimental study of car eco-labels
This article presents the results of a laboratory experiment and an online multi-country experiment testing the effect of motor vehicle eco-labels on consumers. The laboratory study featured a discrete choice task and questions on comprehension, while the ten countries online experiment included measures of willingness to pay and comprehension. Labels focusing on fuel economy or running costs are better understood, and influence choice about mone…

Behaviourally designed treatments that increase willingness to treatment from families with children suffering from autism spectrum disorder
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong disability that is not well known by the general population and tends to be associated with social stigma; also, because it involves children, it may get highly emotionally charged. These stylised facts engender a number of possible heuristics and biases at the moment of deciding on following a treatment or looking for a diagnosis, which should be considered in the presentation of information. Us…
Increasing Economic Inequalities?
The worsening of various dimensions of the income distribution in most of the advanced economies in the last 30 years has been one of the main reasons behind the resurgence of the debate on inequality. The chapter reviews the main trends across 30 countries and present the main drivers that account for those changes. The chapter then discusses and assesses existing causal explanations beyond these stylised facts, including more mainstream hypothe…
The challenges and opportunities of ‘nudging’
Consider the following selective evidence\nof human behaviour in the domain of\nhealthcare. The numeric-cognition feeds\ntypically provided during public vaccin-\nation campaigns are less effective than\naffect-based perception of risk. It is\ncommon to avoid seeing doctors and/or\ndoing health checks because of anxiety\nand fear of receiving bad results. The latter\nmeans that a perceived ‘loss today’\nin the\nhealth status has a stronger impact…
Technology, trade and skills in Brazil
Brazil was characterized by a rapid process of trade liberalization in the 1990s, resulting in a dramatic increase in the volumes of exports and imports since the year 2000. Over the same period, the relative demand for skilled labour has increased substantially. To investigate whether these two simultaneous phenomena are linked is the purpose of this paper. More particularly, this study focuses on the possible impact of domestic technology, capi…
