Anonymity in the dictator game revisited

Franzen, Axel; Pointner, Sonja - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 81 (2012) 1, pp. 74-81

Giving in the dictator game has often been interpreted as evidence of other-regarding preferences. We suspect that giving is determined by subjects’ attempts to appear fair in the eyes of recipients and the experimenter. Therefore, we investigate behavior in the dictator game by using the...

Do leaders affect ethical conduct?

D'Adda, Giovanna; Darai, Donja; Weber, Roberto A. - 2014

We study whether leaders influence the unethical conduct of followers. To avoid selection issues present in natural environments, we use a laboratory experiment in which we form groups and assign leadership roles at random. We study an environment in which groups compete, with dishonest behavior...

A test of stability in a linear altruism model

Ioannou, Christos A.; Qi, Shi; Rustichini, Aldo - In: Economics Letters 121 (2013) 1, pp. 85-89

Linear altruism predicts the estimated preferences to be independent of the subject’s position in the game, if the role allocation is randomly determined, because subjects, in each role, have the same preferences ex ante. We test and reject this hypothesis.

Bigoni, Maria; Bortolotti, Stefania; Casari, Marco; … - In: European Economic Review 64 (2013) C, pp. 129-146

Social life offers innumerable instances in which trust decisions involve multiple agents. Of particular interest is the case when a breach of trust is not profitable if carried out in isolation, but requires an agreement among agents. In such situations the pattern of behaviors is richer than...

A generalized approach to belief learning in repeated games

Ioannou, Christos A.; Romero, Julian - In: Games and Economic Behavior 87 (2014) C, pp. 178-203

We propose a methodology that is generalizable to a broad class of repeated games in order to facilitate operability of belief-learning models with repeated-game strategies. The methodology consists of (1) a generalized repeated-game strategy space, (2) a mapping between histories and...

Cognitive ability and strategic sophistication

Carpenter, Jeffrey; Graham, Michael; Wolf, Jesse - In: Games and Economic Behavior 80 (2013) C, pp. 115-130

In three experiments we examine the extent to which strategic sophistication (i.e., inductive reasoning, iterative dominance and level-k thinking) is determined by broader cognitive skills. In the first experiment we replicate previous results showing strong associations between cognitive...
