Naïve Learning in Social Networks and the Wisdom of Crowds

Benjamin Golub, Matthew O. Jackson · 1 Feb 2010

We study learning in a setting where agents receive independent noisy signals about the true value of a variable and then communicate in a network. They naïvely update beliefs by repeatedly taking weighted averages of neighbors' opinions. We show that all opinions in a large society converge to the truth if and only if the…

The Good News-Bad News Effect: Asymmetric Processing of Objective Information about Yourself

David Eil, Justin M. Rao · 19 Apr 2011

We study processing and acquisition of objective information regarding qualities that people care about, intelligence and beauty. Subjects receiving negative feedback did not respect the strength of these signals, were far less predictable in their updating behavior and exhibited an aversion to new information. In response to good news, inference conformed more closely to Bayes'…

Detecting Learning by Exporting

Jan De Loecker · 31 Jul 2013

This mechanism is often mentioned in policy documents, but many econometric studies have not found corroborating evidence. I show that the econometric methods rely on an assumption that productivity evolves exogenously. I show how to accommodate endogenous productivity processes,…

Truth in Consequentiality: Theory and Field Evidence on Discrete Choice Experiments

Christian A. Vossler, Maurice Doyon, Daniel Rondeau · 22 Oct 2012

We develop an explicit game theoretic model of individual decisions, providing conditions under which surveys with a single binary choice question, or sequence of binary choice questions, are incentive-compatible. We complement the theory with a framed field…

Getting More Work for Nothing? Symbolic Awards and Worker Performance

Michael Kosfeld, Susanne Neckermann · 26 Jul 2011

We study the impact of status and social recognition on worker performance in a field experiment. In collaboration with an international non-governmental organization, we hired students to work on a database project. Students in the award treatment were offered a congratulatory card honoring the best performance. The award was purely symbolic to ensure that any…
