• When do morally motivated innovators elicit inspiration instead of irritation?

  Willem Bolderdijk, Jan; Brouwer, Claire; Cornelissen, Gert (Frontiers, 2018)

  Innovators (i.e., consumers who are the first to adopt an innovation) are pivotal for the societal diffusion of sustainable innovations. But when are innovators most influential? Recent work suggests that morally motivated ...
• “Betting on nature” or “betting on others”: anti-coordination induces uniquely high levels of entropy

  Chierchia, Gabriele; Nagel, Rosemarie; Coricelli, Giorgio (Nature Research, 2018)

  Uncertainty in the form of risk or ambiguity can arise from the interaction with nature and other players, while strategic uncertainty arises only in interactions with others. Here, we systematically compare binary decisions ...
• Imitation of peers in children and adults

  Apesteguia, Jose; Huck, Steffen; Oechssler, Jörg; Weidenholzer, Elke; Weidenholzer, Simon (MDPI, 2018)

  Imitation of the successful choices of others is a simple and superficially attractive learning rule. It has been shown to be an important driving force for the strategic behavior of (young) adults. In this study we examine ...

• Finding the seed of uniform attachment trees

  Lugosi, Gábor; Pereira, Alan S. (The Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Bernoulli Society, 2019)

  A uniform attachment tree is a random tree that is generated dynamically. Starting from a fixed “seed” tree, vertices are added sequentially by attaching each vertex to an existing vertex chosen uniformly at random. Upon ...
• Effects of service quality policies in the tourism sector performance: an empirical analysis of spanish hotels and restaurant

• The Power of requests in a redistribution game: an experimental study

  Pedersini, Riccardo; Nagel, Rosemarie; Le Menestrel, Marc (MDPI, 2019)

  In most situations of voluntary contribution people are willing to give at the beginning, however contribution rates decay over time. In a new setup we introduce non-enforceable sharing rules, as requests, in a repeated ...

  Sáez i Zafra, Marc; López i Casasnovas, Guillem (MDPI, 2019)

  The hypotheses we intended to contrast were, first, that the most deprived neighborhoods in Barcelona, Spain, present high exposure to environmental hazards (differential exposure) and, secondly, that the health effects ...
• Multivariate exploratory data analysis for large databases: An application to modelling firms’ innovation using CIS data

  Bou, Juan Carlos; Satorra, Albert (Elsevier, 2019)

  This paper argues that, when using a large database, organizational researchers would benefit from the use of specific multivariate exploratory data analysis (MEDA) before performing statistical modelling. Issues such as ...
• Unveiling pathways for the fissure among secessionists and unionists in Catalonia: identities, family language, and media influence

  Oller, José M.; Satorra, Albert; Tobeña, Adolf (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019)

  Catalonian secessionism acquired prominence from 2010 onwards. During the last decade secessionist parties won three regional elections and sustained Governments by tiny majorities at the Autonomous Parliament. Two illegal ...
