The Effects of Gender Interactions in the Lab and in the Field
通过游戏节目《最弱一环》的数据和实验室实验，检验对手性别对表现的影响，发现实验室结果仅在设置高额奖金（超过50美元）并限制分析对象为年轻参赛者（33岁以上）时才与实地数据吻合。
An important issue with conducting economic analysis in the lab is whether the results generalize to real-world environments where the stakes and subject pool are considerably different. We examine data from the game show The Weakest Link to determine whether the gender of one's opponent affects performance. We then attempt to replicate the competitive structure of the game show in the lab with an undergraduate subject pool. The results in the lab only match when we both employ high stakes in the lab (> $50) and limit our analysis to young contestants in the game show (age > 33).
