Article Abstract
The growing availability of large datasets in a variety of domains presents an opportunity for researchers to use field data to better understand psychological concepts. I discuss, from an empirical economics point of view, steps for how to study cognition in large datasets. I use two recent papers that explore psychology in the used-car market as motivating examples. These examples help illustrate the potential importance of big data as a way to explore human psychology and cognition.

Online peer-to-peer (P2P) sales of used and or high-value goods are gaining more and more relevance today. However, since potential buyers cannot physically examine the product quality during online sales, information asymmetries and consequently uncertainty and mistrust that already exist in offline sales are exacerbated in online markets. Authenticated data platforms have been proposed to solve these problems by providing authenticated data about the negotiation object, integrating it into text-based channels secured by IT.

Unlabelled: Cars have a high share of global transport-related CO emissions. To model the market diffusion of new energy carriers and powertrains like electric vehicles, fleet turnover models are commonly used. A decisive influence factor for the substitution dynamics of such transformations is the survival rate of the national car fleet of a country.

Article Synopsis
- Leaders often don’t realize how much they rely on analogies in decision-making, which can lead to missed insights and poor choices.
- Successful examples of analogical reasoning, like Toys R Us and CarMax, show how transferring ideas from one context to another can spark innovation.
- However, caution is needed, as relying on superficial similarities can lead to failures (like Enron), and recognizing common biases—like anchoring and confirmation bias—can help improve the effectiveness of analogical thinking.
