generosity with a sequence of dictator games conducted in the field. We find that networks of different dimensions differ … substantially in density, clustering, and centrality. When relating generosity to networks we observe that social distance only …

Social Networks
de Martí, Joan; Zenou, Yves - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009
We survey the literature on social networks by putting together the economics, sociological and physics … network formation. While the physics/applied mathematics approach is capable of reproducing most observed networks, it does … not explain why they emerge. On the contrary, the economics approach is very precise in explaining why networks emerge but …

Public Goods Provision and Sanctioning in Privileged Groups
Reuben, Ernesto; Riedl, Arno - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
In public good provision, privileged groups enjoy the advantage that some of its members find it optimal to supply a positive amount of the public good. However, their inherent asymmetric nature may make the enforcement of cooperative behavior through informal sanctioning harder to accomplish....

Enforcement of Contribution Norms in Public Good Games with Heterogeneous Populations
Reuben, Ernesto; Riedl, Arno - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009
Economic and social interaction takes place between individuals with heterogeneous characteristics. We investigate experimentally the emergence and informal enforcement of different contribution norms to a public good in homogeneous and different heterogeneous groups. When punishment is not...

Karagozoglu, Emin; Riedl, Arno - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010
More often than not production processes are the joint endeavor of people having different abilities and productivities. Such production processes and the associated surplus production are often not fully transparent in the sense that the relative contributions of involved agents are blurred;...

Incentive Design and Trust: Comparing the Effects of Tournament and Team-Based Incentives on Trust
Oxoby, Robert J.; Friedrich, Colette - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008
We explore the extent to which the structure of incentives affects trust. We hypothesize that the degree to which different incentive mechanisms emphasize competition (via the perceived intentions of others) and entitlements (via the perceived property rights) will affect individuals’...

Effort and Comparison Income: Experimental and Survey Evidence
Clark, Andrew E.; Masclet, David; Villeval, Marie-Claire - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006
This paper considers the effect of status or relative income on work effort combining experimental evidence from a gift-exchange game with ISSP survey data. We find a consistent negative effect of others’ incomes on individual effort in both datasets. The individual’s rank in the income...

Information and Beliefs in a Repeated Normal-Form Game
Fehr, Dietmar; Kübler, Dorothea; Danz, David N. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008
We study beliefs and choices in a repeated normal-form game. In addition to a baseline treatment with common knowledge of the game structure and feedback about choices in the previous period, we run treatments (i) without feedback about previous play, (ii) with no information about the...
