Daten zur Dissertation "Essays in Behavioral and Experimental Economics"

The archived data contain all datasets and Stata do-files used to produce the analyses and results presented in the four scientific articles of the dissertation “Essays in Behavioral and Experimental Economics”. These materials allow full replication of all empirical findings reported in the dissertation. (1) The first chapter tests the theoretical predictions developed in the paper using data from the World Values Survey (Haerpfer et al., 2021) and the European Values Study (European Values Study, 2021). Both surveys provide extensive information on religion, religious behavior, and socio-economic attitudes across Europe and the world. (2) The second article is based on an online laboratory experiment conducted in February 2024 with participants from the subject pool of the Competence Center for Experimental Research at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WULABS). The research group conducted nine independent sessions with a total of 309 participants. After the main task, participants completed a questionnaire on socio-economic characteristics; attitudes toward markets, fairness, and social responsibility; perceived appropriateness of purchasing the product in the experiment; and the use of the replacement excuse in real world contexts. (3) The third article is based on two separate experiments: Experiment 1 was conducted as an online laboratory experiment between June and August 2022 with participants from the subject pools of the Kiel Experimental Economic Laboratory (KEEL) at Kiel University and the Mainz Behavioral and Experimental Laboratory (MABELLA) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The researchers ran 15 independent sessions with a total of 352 participants. The experiment concluded with a questionnaire on socio-economic characteristics, identity, and attitudes toward markets and social responsibility. Experiment 2 was conducted at the Competence Center for Experimental Research at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WULABS) in October and December 2023. The researchers ran 12 independent sessions with 272 participants. As in Experiment 1, participants completed a post-experiment questionnaire on socio-economic characteristics, identity, and attitudes toward markets and social responsibility. (4) The experimental sessions were conducted at the Laboratory for Economic Research at the University of Osnabrück (LaER) in December 2024 and at the Leuphana Interdisciplinary Behavioral Research Laboratories (LIB LAB) at Leuphana University Lüneburg in January 2025. The researchers conducted 21 sessions in total. 300 subjects participated in the experiment. The experiment concluded with a short questionnaire on socio-economic characteristics and attitudes toward markets and social responsibility.
