Накратко на български
Връзката между увереността, мотивацията и пола се анализира чрез експерименти с различни стимули и обратна връзка за представянето. Резултатите помагат да се разбере как хората избират задачи и как се влияе желанието им да полагат усилия.

An Experimental Study on the Economics of Self-Confidence, Motivation, Gender and Incentives
In line with the research objectives of the proposal, Dr. Ertac completed several experimental projects, which individually address different parts of the proposed research questions. In terms of topic, these experiments can be classified into (1) experiments studying gender effects in self-selection and their interaction with the properties of the institutional framework, (2) experiments studying the impact of interim performance feedback on self-confidence, incentive scheme choice, and the motivation to exert effort in dynamic settings. In terms of methodology, an interdisciplinary array of measurement methods have been employed: (1) laboratory experiments, (2) field experiments, (3) personality tests, (4) neural measurements. While carrying out these experiments, Dr. Ertac has worked jointly with senior and junior researchers from the United States, Europe and the host country, as well as the three master's students she supervised within the duration of the project. The project has led to significant knowledge transfer and the initiation of new research collaborations, in addition to its tremendous contribution to the researcher's career development and successful integration.

Цел на проекта
Inducing high effort and performance is an important goal in organizational economics as well as in education. With the recognition that imperfect self-knowledge is prevalent in such contexts, factors such as self-confidence and attitudes toward information have been increasingly incorporated into economic models of incentives in the recent years. This project proposes to study the link between self-confidence, motivation and institutions using experiments. Important self-selection decisions (e.g. type of occupation, career path) and effort decisions are fundamentally based on perceived ability. In addition, factors previously ignored in the incentive literature such as personality traits, gender, and biological factors can be instrumental in the way that individuals respond to incentives. This project proposes to conduct a set of laboratory experiments to analyze the dynamics of self-confidence and the motivation to exert effort under different institutional settings. In conjunction with the data on behavior, the study will also collect data on gender, educational background, risk-aversion, and personality traits, and will employ the recent methodology of neural measurements. Understanding the determinants of motivation, and studying its interactions with the institutional structure as well as factors such as gender are expected to generate important policy recommendations for the workplace as well as for educational settings.
