Can Competitiveness Predict Education and Labor Market Outcomes? Evidence from Incentivized Choice and Survey Measures
We assess the predictive power of two measures of competitiveness for education and labor market outcomes using a large, representative survey panel. The first is incentivized and is an online adaptation of the laboratory-based Niederle-Vesterlund measure. The second is an unincentivized survey question eliciting general competitiveness. Both measures are strong predictors of income, occupation, level of education, and field of study. The predict…
Competitiveness, gender and handedness
We conduct an intercultural experiment in three locations on three different continents to elicit competitiveness and study whether individual differences in competitiveness are related to handedness. Being a "lefty" (i.e., having either a dominant left hand or a dominant left foot) is associated with neurological differences which are determined prenatally, and can therefore be seen as a proxy for innate differences. In large-scale data with inc…
Gender differences in willingness to compete
A recent literature emphasizes that gender differences in the labor market may in part be driven by a gender gap in willingness to compete. However, whereas experiments in this literature typically investigate willingness to compete in private environments, real world competitions often have a more public nature, which introduces potential social image concerns. If such image concerns are important, and men and women differ in the degree to which…
Gender, Competitiveness, and Career Choices
Gender differences in competitiveness have been hypothesized as a potential explanation for gender differences in education and labor market outcomes. We examine the predictive power of a standard laboratory experimental measure of competitiveness for the later important choice of academic track of secondary school students in the Netherlands. Although boys and girls display similar levels of academic ability, boys choose substantially more prest…
Le Renouveau de la peinture religieuse en France (1800-1860)
Jerome Nadal and Early Jesuit Art in Rome
A definite relationship between the Counter-Reformation and the arts has never been determined.1 Textbooks usually repeat the same undocumented generalities about the importance for the arts of contemporary Reformers like Ignatius of Loyola (d. 1556) and Philip Neri (d. 1595). Recently, however, some studies have challenged these generalities. Francis Haskell, for example, maintains that the Reforming orders had little to say about art simply bec…
