It’s good to be first: Order bias in reading and citing NBER Working Papers

Nový vědecký článek Patricka Gaulé a kol. v prestižním The Review of Economics and Statistics ukazuje, jak i drobnosti ovlivňují lidské rozhodování a jak zdánlivé drobnosti spolu s pozorností a dovednostmi mohou ovlivnit výsledky. Abstract: When choices are made from ordered lists, individuals can exhibit biases toward selecting certain options as a result of the ordering. We examine this phenomenon in the context of consumer response to the ordering of economics papers in an e-mail announcement issued by the NBER.
