Phanish Puranam, Insead

Readers (and unfortunately reviewers) are sometimes skeptical about the relevance of lab experiments to understanding “real” organizations. Phanish discusses why this skepticism is often rooted in vague and invalid assumptions, and what we can do about it.

Using Christensen, Dahl, Knudsen & Warglien (2022) as example, this session provides a method to identify and test endogenous adaptation at the individual level, which alters predictions at the aggregate, organizational level.

Ronald Klingebiel, Frankfurt School

Overlooked and everywhere. We examine to what extent informed priors might drive behavior in extant studies of decisions under uncertainty. Emphasis is on transparency and verifiability of the mechanisms that generate uncertainty.

You can view the slides and access the example instructions for anchoring priors experientially, with filler tasks, or through practice

Özgecan Kocak, Emory

with Massimo Warglien, Venice

To study aspects of coordination or communication within organizations, experiments can examine not only individual decisions, but also interactions of dyads or even triads. Is this a step on aggregating individual-level observations to the organizational level? What does studying dyads or triads change for the experimental design but also the analysis of the data? This masterclass will offer a perspective on how experiments can be used to study interactions of more than one individual and which challenges may come with it.

Abdullah Almaatouq gave a masterclas on integrative experiment design.

Abdullah introduced a framework called “integrative experiment design” that has the potential to address the lack of cumulativeness among experimental findings in the social and behavioral sciences.
