Empirical studies on information, beliefs, and choices in education and work

“…We consider a researcher who did not have a Ph.D. (yet) at the time of the experiment's launch to be inexperienced, and consider a researcher with a Ph.D. to be experienced. To ensure understanding, we present senders' experience as either 'beginning researcher' or 'experienced researcher' 11 . For each sender, we show the name and experience on the screen 12 .…”

We did not include it in the main results discussed in the paper since our measures of racial diversity do not affect it.…”

“…10 sessions, with a varying number of subjects per session (1-13). 11,12 Passive second movers were briefly informed about the procedure and were allowed to leave without making any decision. Active second movers and first 10 The matching procedure is explained in detail in Appendix 2.A.…”

“…Active second movers and first 10 The matching procedure is explained in detail in Appendix 2.A. 11 This is because subjects also participated in one of two other experiments which differed in capacity constraints. The two experiments were about consumer behavior and product choice and involved no social interaction between subjects.…”
