The framing of games and the psychology of strategic choice
Dufwenberg, Martin (contributor);  … - 2006
Psychological game theory can provide a rational choice explanation of framing effects; frames influence beliefs, and beliefs influence motivations. We explain this point theoretically, and explore its empirical relevance experimentally. In a 2×2-factorial framing design of one-shot public good...

The framing of games and the psychology of play
Dufwenberg, Martin; Gächter, Simon; Hennig-Schmidt, Heike - 2010 - [Rev. version of 2006,20]
Psychological game theory can provide rational-choice-based framing effects; frames influence beliefs, beliefs influence motivations. We explain this theoretically and explore empirical relevance experimentally. In a 2×2 design of one-shot public good games we show that frames affect subject's...

Conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion
Cubitt, Robin P.; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015
We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

Social preferences, beliefs and the dynamics of free riding in public good experiments
Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - 2009
One lingering puzzle is why voluntary contributions to public goods decline over time in experimental and real-world settings. We show that the decline of cooperation is driven by individual preferences for imperfect conditional cooperation. Many people's desire to contribute less than others,...

Heterogeneous social preference and the dynamics of free riding in public goods
Fischbacher, Urs (contributor); Gächter, Simon (contributor) - 2006
We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences in voluntary cooperation. We elicit individuals’ cooperation preference in one experiment and make a point prediction about the contribution to a repeated public good. This allows for a novel test as to whether there are "types" of...

We provide a test of the role of social preferences and beliefs in voluntary cooperation and its decline. We elicit individuals' cooperation preferences in one experiment and use them - as well as subjects' elicited beliefs - to explain contributions to a public good played repeatedly. We find...

We provide a test of the role of social preferences and beliefs in voluntary cooperation and its decline. We elicit individuals’ cooperation preferences in one experiment and use them – as well as subjects’ elicited beliefs – to explain contributions to a public good played repeatedly....

The "grammar of trust" is one the most explored loci in game theory and behavioural economics. However, still much … needs to be understood about the nature of trust in non-enforceable, personalised interactions, in markets and within … organizations. This experimental study aims at contributing to the understanding of new dimensions of trust by exploring how risky …
