Ingroup bias with multiple identity dimensions
Group identity is known to exert a powerful socio‐psychological influence on behaviour, but has largely been explored as a uni‐dimensional phenomenon. Theoretically, an increase in the number of identity dimensions considered should make it harder to draw clear boundaries between people. Therefore, we ask whether broadening awareness of identity to multiple dimensions could help alleviate ingroup biases. We explore this in an online experiment, f…
Saliency, honesty and competition
We provide the first large-scale statistical investigation of the role of the saliency of (dis)honesty on future behavior in a multi-wave experiment with 1,260 subjects. In the first wave, we vary the saliency of subjects’ past dishonesty and explore the impact on behavior in tasks that include the scope to lie. In the second wave, we vary the degree of competitiveness in one of our core tasks. In a real effort task with individual incentives, be…

Happiness and Productivity
Some firms say they care about the well-being and “happiness” of their employees. But are such claims hype or scientific good sense? We provide evidence, for a classic piece rate setting, that happiness makes people more productive. In three different styles of experiment, randomly selected individuals are made happier. The treated individuals have approximately 12% greater productivity. A fourth experiment studies major real-world shocks (bereav…
How Should Peer‐review Panels Behave
Many governments wish to assess the quality of their universities. A prominent example is the UK's new Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. In the REF, peer‐review panels will be provided with information on publications and citations. This article suggests a way in which panels could choose the weights to attach to these two indicators. The analysis draws in an intuitive way on the concept of Bayesian updating (where citations gradually rev…
