Sustainable investing has been gaining traction as a means to speed up the environmental transition. Recent theoretical work highlights that a sustainable investor looking to maximize their impact should focus not just on their own stocks' emissions, but should also internalize the whole market's emissions – following a broad mandate. Sustainable investors should therefore coordinate with other fellow sustainable investors, as well as with the market as a whole. The goal of this project is to explore behavioral barriers to broad-mandate investing. In a first experiment, we find that some market structures make broad-mandate investing very counterintuitive for investors, irrespective of their preferences. Further experiments are planned in order to identify the precise cognitive mechanism at play

Biases in the peer review process can result in disparities in how scholarly work is assessed, unfairly affecting the careers and opportunities of researchers. In this paper, we conduct a randomised field experiment to explore the role of affiliation biases in the peer review process of an early career workshop in economics. When affiliation is displayed, we find significant increases in paper grades and the probability of being accepted to the conference
