    • Decision-Making in Research Tasks with Sequential Testing 

      Pfeiffer, Thomas; Rand, David Gertler; Dreber-Almenberg, Anna (Public Library of Science, 2009)
      Background: In a recent controversial essay, published by JPA Ioannidis in PLoS Medicine, it has been argued that in some research fields, most of the published findings are false. Based on theoretical reasoning it can be ...

    • Dopamine and Risk Choices in Different Domains: Findings Among Series Tournament Bridge Players 

      Zeckhauser, Richard Jay; Rand, David Gertler; Wernerfelt, Nils Christian; Garcia, Justin; Lum, Koji; Dreber-Almenberg, Anna (2010)
      Individuals differ significantly in their willingness to take risks, partly due to genetic differences. We explore how risk taking behavior correlates with different versions of the dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4). We ...

    • Dynamic remodeling of in-group bias during the 2008 Presidential election 

      Rand, David Gertler; Pfeiffer, Thomas; Dreber-Almenberg, Anna; Sheketoff, Rachel W.; Wernerfelt, Nils Christian; Benkler, Yochai (National Academy of Sciences, 2009)
      People often favor members of their own group, while discriminating against members of other groups. Such in-group favoritism has been shown to play an important role in human cooperation. However, in the face of changing ...

    • Gambling for Global Goods 

      Dreber-Almenberg, Anna; Nowak, Martin A. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008)

    • Using prediction markets to estimate the reproducibility of scientific research 

      Dreber-Almenberg, Anna; Pfeiffer, Thomas; Almenberg, Johan; Isaksson, Siri; Wilson, Brad; Chen, Yiling; Nosek, Brian A.; Johannesson, Magnus (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015)
      Concerns about a lack of reproducibility of statistically significant results have recently been raised in many fields, and it has been argued that this lack comes at substantial economic costs. We here report the results ...

    • Who cooperates in repeated games: The role of altruism, inequity aversion, and demographics 

      Dreber-Almenberg, Anna; Fudenberg, Drew; Rand, David G. (Elsevier BV, 2014)
      We explore the extent to which altruism, as measured by giving in a dictator game (DG), accounts for play in a noisy version of the repeated prisoner's dilemma. We find that DG giving is correlated with cooperation in the ...
