Classical and Belief-Based Gift Exchange Models: Theory and Evidence
Dhami, Sanjit; Wei, Mengxing; al-Nowaihi, Ali - 2021
We derive, compare, and test the predictions of three models of gift exchange: Classical (CGE); Augmented (AGE) based on unexpected wage surprises and first order beliefs; and Belief-based (BGE) that uses second order beliefs to formally model guilt-aversion. Motivated by Akerlof (1982), we also...
