We leverage pre-determined village-level social group compositions, where some villages are relatively more homogeneous than the others, to examine subsequent diffusion of agricultural technology following the initial, randomized seeding over the next five years. There are two main take-away. First, modest overall difference in adoption between treated and control villages is largely explained by the degree of heterogeneity in village-level social composition. Second, we observe immediate diffusion among non-recipient farmers in the same social group as the initial, treated recipients and limited diffusion among groups with lower social ranks. These findings highlight the potential efficiency and equity limitations of randomized seeding of new technology in a context with market frictions and limited trade across social groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107088"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144291258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings provide convincing evidence of the significance of credit constraints in affecting ERPT into import prices. Furthermore, a more diversified import sourcing network can enhance the ability of importers to cope with exchange rate shocks and help alleviate the impact of financial constraints on exchange rate fluctuations.

From the experiment, for the cost and value treatments, we find that incomplete information increases effort relative to uneven (i.e., asymmetric) complete information contests; for group size treatments, incomplete information has no effect. Observed effort is systematically higher than what a theory based on self-interest predicts; this is especially true for group size contests. An extended theory model that incorporates in-group altruism provides a potential explanation for major deviations between the data and standard theory predictions, including the finding that group-level effort increases with group size.

In this paper, we study the impact of public charging pricing policies on EV charging behaviors using a unique policy experiment that shifted the charging and parking rates of public EV charging stations in Palo Alto, California. Using detailed charging session-level data that tracks individual charging records and a Regression Discontinuity in Time (RDiT) design, our analysis generates three key findings. First, the switching from a free service to a $0.23 per kWh charging rate and $2 post-charging parking rate reduces the total number of charging events by 32.2%. Meanwhile, the average per-event charging volume and parking time decline by 20.5% and 72.3%, respectively. Second, the lower charging volume for a specific individual accounts for 35.1% of the overall decline, while the remaining is attributed to shifts in the composition of users. Third, a higher charging cost induces an increasing share of temporary users. Our results highlight the sensitivity and heterogeneity of EV charging behaviors with respect to the costs of public charging services and the potential distribution effects of pricing at public EV charging stations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107048"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144242023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing data from the high-inflation period of 2022/2023, we demonstrate how this practice leads to distortions in households’ responses, causing inconsistencies and resulting in biased estimates of both mean inflation expectations and uncertainty. In two large-scale randomized experiments, we show that shifting the response scale to better align with households’ current expectations improves response quality. The greatest improvements are observed when the response scale is centered on each household’s point forecast. This personalized approach significantly increases the quality of responses by reducing inconsistencies, decreasing the use of unbounded intervals, and lowering the frequency of bi-modal responses. Centering the response scale on point forecasts removes the need to adjust the scale when inflation falls outside the originally intended range and helps mitigate panel conditioning effects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144238311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
