A comparison of individual and group behavior in a competition with cheating opportunities
(2020)
While it is well established that individuals and groups make different economic decisions, the reasons for the behavioral differences are still not fully understood. We experimentally compare individual and group behavior in a competitive setting where cheating can be used to outperform the competitor. Our design allows us to exogenously control for the type of the decision maker, the type of the competitor, and whether the competitor is able to cheat or not. The results show that there is much more cheating in ...

Empirical Analyses of the Emergence and the Effect of Inter-municipal Cooperation
(2020-08)
This dissertation presents four empirical studies on inter-municipal cooperation (IMC). IMC gained prominence lately as alternative to local government reform. As local decision makers grow weary of the political costs of amalgamations and discouraging empirical evidence on the effectiveness of such reforms, IMC promises a more flexible approach to the provision of public goods and services.
What are the factors that drive the emergence of IMC? This question is answered by way of survival analysis, using data of ...

Socioeconomic inequality in academia
(2021)

Die vorliegende Dissertation greift diese Problematik auf und versucht sowohl verlaufende methodische Probleme in der Generierung von Datenbank zu adressieren als auch eine Datenbank zu erstellen und wissenschaftsökonomische ...

Rechtsverträgliche und qualitätszentrierte Gestaltung für "KI made in Germany"
(2020-02-21)
Künstlich intelligente (KI) Systeme erfreuen sich immer größerer Beliebtheit. Insbesondere smarte persönliche Assistenten (SPAs) von Amazon, Google und vielen weiteren verzeichnen ein stetiges Marktwachstum. Den vielfältigen Potenzialen dieser KI-Systeme stehen jedoch auch zahlreiche Risiken gegenüber. Berichte von Datenpannen und -lecks häufen sich und haben bei Nutzern eine zunehmende Skepsis zur Folge, was zu einem gespaltenen Bild von KI in der Gesellschaft beiträgt. Diesem Problem stellt sich das Forschungsprojekt ...

Chapter 2 is dedicated to analyzing and comparing the effectiveness of distinct measures that are supposed to prevent people from lying for financial gain. Chapter 3 introduces a novel experimental design that allows the measurement of the ...

Responsibility and prosocial behavior - Experimental evidence on charitable donations by individuals and group representatives
(2020-11-13)
In this paper we present a lab-in-the-field experiment with a large and diverse sample to compare charitable donations when individuals decide for themselves only and when they decide as a group representative. In contrast to the previous literature, we find that individuals make greater charitable contributions when they decide as a group representative than when they decide alone. This result demonstrates that being responsible for a group does not always lead to more selfish behavior.
