In the context of school choice, we experimentally study how behavior and outcomes are affected when, instead of submitting rankings in the student-proposing or school-proposing deferred acceptance (DA) mechanism, students make decisions dynamically, going through the steps of the underlying algorithms. Our main results show that, contrary to theory, (a) in the dynamic student-proposing DA mechanism, students propose to schools respecting the order of their true preferences slightly more often than in its static version while, (b) in the dynamic school-proposing DA mechanism, students react to proposals by always respecting the order and not accepting schools in the tail of their true preferences more often than in the corresponding static version. As a consequence, the dynamic mechanisms outperform their static counterparts in what stability and average payoffs are concerned. In the aggregate, the dynamic school-proposing DA mechanism is the best performing mechanism., He gratefully acknowledges financial support from AGAUR–Generalitat de Catalunya (2014-SGR-1064 and 2017-SGR-1359), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2013–2016 (ECO2014-59302-P and ECO2017-88130-P), and the Severo Ochoa Programme for Centres of Excellence in R&D (SEV-2015-0563).

<p>This project explores the association between masculine physical traits and dishonesty in communication. Using a sender-receiver game, the study evaluates how markers like the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), facial morphometric masculinity (fMM), and facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) influence lying and deception. The findings shed light on the biological roots of strategic communication and its connection to honesty and dishonesty.</p>

<p>The dataset includes measurements of 2D:4D, fMM, and fWHR from 168 male participants who played a sender-receiver game. Behavioral data include lying and deception decisions, alongside demographic and physical information such as BMI & age.</p>
