Experimental methods in economics : three applications
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation comprises three papers employing a diverse set of experimental methods to examine behavioral aspects of individual decision-making across distinct domains: charitable giving, misinformation on social media, and considerations surrounding others' autonomy of choice. Chapter 1 presents two experiments conducted on PayPal's Give at Checkout microgiving feature to learn about the effect of 1) information about charity outcomes on donations, and 2) exposure to these point-of-sale micro-giving requests on subsequent giving. Chapter 2 evaluates three distinct versions of a low-cost and scalable five-day text message educational course on drivers of misinformation sharing by conducting a field experiment with approximately 9,000 participants. Chapter 3 experimentally investigates the objective function of third parties who can impose binding minimum contribution requirements on a group of ten players playing a linear Public Goods Game.
