Algorithmic decision-making systems are becoming increasingly prominent in the mobility sector through navigation systems, autonomous driving vehicles, infrastructure management and even through their implementation in customer services. However, the advancements in mobility will only be successful if they are accepted and adopted by the majority o...
Retail store prices are frequently set to either a just-below (e.g., $1.99) or rounded to (e.g., $2.00) integer levels. Previous studies proposed two price-perception effects that may underly such psychological pricing strategies. First, the left-digit effect (LDE) assumes consumers read prices left-to-right. Cognitive limitations let consumers ove...
This study aimed to investigate the role of information and individual determinants on speed choice in a controlled laboratory setting in order to improve the general understanding of individual speeding behavior. A novel and interactive speed choice experiment was designed where participants repeatedly had to choose between fast or slow driving. R...
Public autonomous vehicles (AVs) have a high potential to solve traffic related problems and environmental challenges. However, without the passengers’ acceptance, the potential to achieve these benefits will not be fulfilled. Therefore, this paper is focused on the factors that influence the acceptance of such vehicles and investigates how much th...
Human perception is very comparative. A misperception of random sequential processes, however, can influence the outcome of important decisions in many areas of daily life, including the evaluation of exams in higher education. We investigate this effect by using an extensive dataset of more than 20,000 examination results that is analysed on wheth...
Despite discernible improvements in the last decades, speeding is still a pertinent problem for road safety, fuel efficiency, and greenhouse gas mitigation. In order to understand individual speeding decisions, we need a better understanding of who speeds. In our paper, we test whether individuals' general pace of life is associated with speeding d...
The future of artificial intelligence is bright and will create new situations in which humanscan share or delegate decisions to machines and algorithms – as is likely to be the case infully autonomous traffic situations. As it is important to understand human-machine inter-actions and acceptance of these new technologies, we took a deeper look int...
Jeden Tag müssen wir eine große Anzahl an Entscheidungen treffen: Sollen wir früh oder spät aufstehen, nehmen wir das Auto oder das Fahrrad zur Arbeit, lesen wir zuerst unsere Emails oder studieren lieber den neuen Quartalsbericht. Grobe Schätzungen reichen von 20.000 bis hin zu 35.000 Entscheidungen, mit denen jeder von uns täglich konfrontiert wi...
It has long been hypothesized that migrants and non-migrants differ in their individual risk and time preferences. Due to a lack of reliable data on migrants’ preferences, empirical evidence, however, is scarce. Therefore, this paper has sought to advance research on preferences and migration decisions by using original household survey data from t...

Coastal areas are under increasing pressure from rapid human population growth, yet empirical research on the effect of migration on coastal and marine resources is scarce. We contribute to this understudied literature by conducting an original household survey in a coastal region...
Projections of climatic and environmental changes have generated a growing effort to assess their implications for human migration. Because migration is always a multicausal phenomenon, this study aims to disentangle the impact of environmental factors from other migration-inducing factors to shed some light on the complex relationship between the...
