Trust and Time Preference: Measuring a Causal Effect in a Random-Assignment Experiment [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Large amounts of evidence suggest that trust levels in a country are an important determinant of its macroeconomic growth. In this paper, we investigate one channel through which trust might support economic performance: through the levels of patience, also known as time preference in the economics literature.

Can the Replication Rate Tell Us About Publication Bias? [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A leading explanation for widespread replication failures is publication bias. I show in a simple model of selective publication that, contrary to common perceptions, the replication rate is unaffected by the suppression of insignificant results in the publication process.

Neural network models of learning and categorization in multigame experiments
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 Previous research has shown that regret-driven neural networks predict behavior in repeated completely mixed games remarkably well, substantially equating the performance of the most accurate established models of learning.

Large Effects of Small Cues: Priming Selfish Economic Decisions [PDF]
Many experimental studies report that economics students tend to act more selfishly than students of other disciplines, a finding that received widespread public and professional attention. Two main explanations that the existing literature offers for the differences found in the behavior between economists and noneconomists are the selection effect ...

A Better Test of Choice Overload [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Choice overload - by which larger choice sets are detrimental to a chooser's wellbeing - is potentially of great importance to the design of economic policy. Yet the current evidence on its prevalence is inconclusive. We argue that existing tests are likely to be underpowered and hence that choice overload may occur more often than the literature ...

Theory of pricing as relativistic kinematics [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The algebra of transactions as fundamental measurements is constructed on the basis of the analysis of their properties and represents an expansion of the Boolean algebra. The notion of the generalized economic measurements of the economic quantity and quality of objects of transactions is introduced. It has been shown that the vector space of economic

Agreement and Statistical Efficiency in Bayesian Perception Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Bayesian models of group learning are studied in Economics since the 1970s. and more recently in computational linguistics. The models from Economics postulate that agents maximize utility in their communication and actions. The Economics models do not explain the ``probability matching" phenomena that are observed in many experimental studies.
