2013-04-18 to 2013-08-18 Award Winning Paper The Unicredit and Universities Foundation awarded TI PhD students Rei Sayag and Pedro Robalo the first prize for their outstanding joint paper entitled “Paying is Believing: The Effect of Costly Information on Bayesian Updating.” Sayag and Robalo won the Best Paper Award Labor Economics competition and a prize of € 2.000. Their award winning paper examines the assumption that people find it difficult to use new information well in uncertainty-ridden environments. Sayag and Robalo used a laboratory experiment to examine whether making information costly can affect decision making under risk. Their results show that people rely on information they are charged for more than on identical information they obtain for free. In the parlance of Bayesian updating, signals that are costly receive a higher weight that signals that are costless. These results suggest straightforward policy implications for information pricing: if decision makers are not using new information to the amount prescribed by the (Bayesian) normative benchmark, charging for new information will tend to correct this shortcoming. Pedro Robalo will present this paper at the workshop on the same topic to be held at IZA, Bonn on June 17-18, 2013. Robalo is a PhD student and member of TI’s Behavioral and Experimental Economics (BEE) Research Group. Sayag is a PhD student and member of TI’s Organizations and Markets (OM) Research Group.

2016-09-08 to 2016-10-08 Reinhard Selten (1930-2016) CREED mourns the passing away of Reinhard Selten (University of Bonn). A great, kind, inspiring, and unorthodox behavioral scientist is no more. From the start of his academic career he was interested in studying and modeling economic behavior both from a rational and, in particular, a descriptive (boundedly rational) perspective. The former culminated in seminal contributions to game theory for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1994, while the latter made him a pioneer in experimental economics and led to a life-long interest in modeling bounded rationality. In his view, any tool, method or theory, from whichever discipline, should be considered if it had the potential to improve our knowledge of behavior. He also favored exploratory experimentation to safe but unexciting incremental studies, and emphasized the use of sufficiently large numbers of independent observations that laboratory experimentation made possible. At CREED we will particularly remember him as a kind person and inspiring scholar, who helped the development of our lab through his encouragement and membership of its advisory board at the start, and his later regular involvement in its (non-)scientific activities..
