… probability of making an erroneous move by 26.3%. The decomposition of the effects by different stages of the game shows that time pressure amplifies the damage of poor air quality to the players’ decisions. We implement a number of robustness checks and conduct a replication exercise with analogous move-quality data from games in the top national league showing the strength of our results. The results highlight the costs of poor air quality for highly skilled professionals faced with … financial sector indicates that inves- tors exposed to polluted air tend to systematically under- perform, obtaining lower returns on their investments, and are more prone to exhibit investment biases, such as the disposition effect, attention-driven buying behavior, or excessive trading (Heyes et al. 2016, Huang et al. 2020). Finally, this paper contributes to the growing liter- ature investigating the impact of air pollution on cogni- tive and quality-focused tasks, covering cognitive tests … for the international Elo score, which is why the organizers decided to only apply the DWZ score. 20 The metric values the remaining pieces on the board relative to a pawn, determining how valuable a piece is strategically.

… Another example is the (collective) defined contribution (DC) pension plan in which participants have some choice in the investments but not on the exact composition of the plan (including the sustainability profile). In contrast, retail investors who buy mutual funds can buy and sell those funds without any restrictions. These varying contexts demand different methods for the elicitation of preferences. For instance, in a DB plan, the board decides on its sustainability profile. Nonetheless, many … Other issues that were considered Social desirability bias: Financial incentives and the consequential vote mitigated this problem to a large extent. Representation bias: We checked whether the political preferences of the people in the sample were similar to those in the Netherlands: no big differences. Social signalling instead of social preferences: We checked the potential effect using political voting preferences; social signalling played a role but did not change the key result of the experiment. Financial and sustainability illiteracy: We prepared the surveys well by thoroughly testing them with …
