This dissertation consists of five essays contributing to a better understanding of three fundamental lines of research in behavioral economics: trust and cooperation in social interactions, gender discrimination, and decision making under risk and uncertainty. All essays are novel contributions and based on the experimental economics method. In some of the essays, game-theoretical solutions are provided and experimental findings are related to behavioral theories.
