Developing resilience pathways for interdependent infrastructure networks
In this study, we propose a methodological framework to identify and evaluate cost-effective pathways for enhancing resilience in large-scale interdependent infrastructure systems, considering decision-makers’ risk preferences. We focus on understanding how decision-makers with varying risk preferences perceive the benefits from infrastructure resilience investments and compare them with upfront costs in the context of high-impact low-probability…
How to induce honesty
Everyday public behavior is premised on honesty. But the imperative to be honest can conflict with self-interest. This conflict between public good and private gain is one of the largest sources of malignity in policymaking, often resulting in noncompliance, inaction, or outright sabotage. This empirical paper examines whether giving the option to be seen as honest helps to reduce malignity in public behavior. We conduct a large field experiment …
Examining the replicability of online experiments selected by a decision market
Here we test the feasibility of using decision markets to select studies for replication and provide evidence about the replicability of online experiments. Social scientists (n = 162) traded on the outcome of close replications of 41 systematically selected MTurk social science experiments published in PNAS 2015-2018, knowing that the 12 studies with the lowest and the 12 with the highest final market prices would be selected for replication, al…
Retrospective and Prospective Benefit-Cost Analyses of U.S. Anti-Smoking Policies
Regulatory policies designed to improve societal welfare by “nudging” consumers to make better choices are increasingly popular. The application of benefit-cost analysis (BCA) to this sort of regulation confronts difficult theoretical and applied issues. In this analysis we contribute a worked example of behavioral BCA of U.S. anti-smoking policies. Our conceptual framework extends the standard market-based approach to BCA to allow for individual…
