Three essays in experimental and labor economics Cicognani, Simona Cicognani, Simona Mittone, Luigi Settore SECS-P/01 - Economia Politica This thesis collects three independent essays. Two of them relate to experimental economics, and one to labor economics. The first essay explores through a laboratory experiment the relationship between cognitive costs and imitation dynamics. The second essay investigates in an experimental setting information aversion towards bad/good news about ones’ own condition, and tests the effect of the possibility of exerting effort, which may improve one’s own condition, on the willingness to acquire more detailed personal information. The third essay proposes an empirical application aiming at studying gender discrimination in a research context, and in particular whether the gender composition of evaluating commissions affects the hiring of women in research activities. 2015 info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis https://hdl.handle.net/11572/367769 http://dx.doi.org/10.15168/11572_367769 10.15168/11572_367769 eng firstpage:1 lastpage:139 numberofpages:139 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Università degli studi di Trento place:TRENTO license:Tutti i diritti riservati (All rights reserved)
