Does Group Identity Prevent Inefficient Investment in Outside Options? An Experimental Investigation
Morita, Hodaka - 2018
We study whether group identity mitigates inefficiencies associated with appropriable quasi-rents, which are often created by relationship-specific investments in bilateral trade relationships. We conjecture that group identity strengthens the effect of an agent's generous action in increasing...

Other-regarding Preferences, Group Identity and Political Participation: An Experiment
Robalo, Pedro; Schram, Arthur; Sonnemans, Joep - 2013
We experimentally study the relationship between other-regarding preferences, group identity and political participation. In doing so, we propose a novel group identity induction procedure that succeeds in creating environments where in-group bias is either high or low. At the individual level,...

Gender differences in the development of other-regarding preferences
John, Katrin; Thomseny, Stephan L. - 2017
We use data from a gender-neutral dictator and public goods game setting to analyze differences in other-regarding preferences between boys and girls aged 10 to 17. The results indicate a higher mean of dictator giving, degree of egalitarian decisions and lower frequency of selfish decisions,...

Investment in Outside Options as Opportunistic Behavior : An Experimental Investigation
Morita, Hodaka - 2018
Ex-post opportunistic behavior, commonly present in bilateral trade relationships, is a key element of the transaction cost economics. Investment in outside options is a prime example of such opportunism and often leads to inefficiency, for example by exerting effort to search for alternative...
