GRUN: Global Runoff Reconstruction (GRUN_v1)
(2019)The dataset contains a gridded global reconstruction of monthly runoff timeseries. In-situ streamflow observations from the GSIM dataset are used to train a machine learning algorithm that predicts monthly runoff rates based on antecedent precipitation and temperature from the Global Soil Wetness Project Phase 3 (GSWP3) meteorological forcing dataset. We thank Prof. Dr. Hyungjun Kim for developing the GSWP3 dataset and providing us with ...Dataset -

Reputation Formation and the Evolution of Cooperation in Anonymous Online Markets
(2013)Theoretical propositions stressing the importance of trust, reciprocity, and reputation for cooperation in social exchange relations are deeply rooted in classical sociological thought. Thoday's online markets provide a unique opportunity to test these theories using unobtrusive data. Our study investigates the mechanisms promoting cooperation in an online-auction market where most transactions can be conceived as one-time-only exchanges. ...Dataset -
The Power of Reciprocity
(2004)In two experiments, the existence and extent of altruistic reciprocity is explored in the context of a simple experimental game, "the sequential dictator". Findings show that altruistic reciprocity is frequent and robust, and the reciprocity norm does not erode if stakes are raised. Implications of the findings for social theory further empirical research are discussed.Dataset -
Social status and aggression: A Field Study Analyzed by Survival Analysis
(1996)A field experiment was conducted in Germany to explore whether driver characteristics and the social status of cars are related to an aggressive response. Drivers waiting at a traffic light (N = 57) were blocked by an experimental car. The amount of time that elapsed until the drivers responded by honking their horns or beaming their headlights was recorded, and bivariate and multivariate methods of survival analysis were used to analyze ...Dataset -
Qua-kit data: Urban Design Submissions
(2018)Quick Urban Analysis Kit (qua-kit) is a web platform for simple urban design editing, sharing and discussion. Qua-kit is integrated into a series of massive open online courses (MOOCs) called Future Cities, which is developed by the chair of Information Architecture (iA) at ETH Zürich. This dataset contains student submissions (design geometry), discussions, and related data in the form of an SQL dump. In addition, the archive contains ...Dataset -
Wie fremdenfeindlich ist die Schweiz?
(2014)Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung „Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung“ im Frühlingssemester 2010 an der ETH Zürich wurde unter der Leitung der Dozenten Ben Jann und Matthias Naef eine Reihe von Feldexperimenten zum Thema Diskriminierung durchgeführt. Ein weiteres Diskriminierungsexperiment entstand im Rahmen einer von Andreas Diekmann betreuten MTU-Arbeit.Dataset
