PRIMA - Primary data meta-analyses of behaviour in competition
(with M Beblo)
The PRIMA project takes a novel approach to researching competitive behaviour in experiments. We plan to synthesise the existing body of literature in this field using primary data on the individual level. This way, we expect to gain new insights into determinants of the decision to compete and into performance under competitive pressure, with a focus on gender differences thereof.
