We report experimental findings on the role of charitable promises in bargaining settings. We vary the enforceability of such promises within variants of ultimatum games where the proposer suggest a split between himself, the responder and a charitable donation. By reneging on initial pledges,...

important in many interactions, we study a theoretical model on reciprocity where a player's altruism depends on her perception … of the other player’s altruism towards herself. We analyze a sequential two-player contest and vary the second mover … empirically in a large scale online experiment and in the laboratory. In both experiments, the second mover’s lying propensity …

This paper combines several large-scale surveys with different identification strategies to shed new light on the determinants of cooperative behavior. We provide evidence indicating that the well-being maximizing level of trust is above the income maximizing level. Higher trust is also linked...

We use the trust and the dictator games to explore the effects of religious identity on trust, trustworthiness, prosociality, and conditional reciprocity within a beliefs-based model. We provide a novel and rigorous theoretical model to derive the relevant predictions, which are then tested in...

Consistent with theory, we find that the standard simplifying … assumptions about risk preferences lead to significantly biased estimates of altruism. This is particularly problematic when …

We consider infinite-horizon bargaining in which an uninformed seller sequentially makes a price offer to a privately informed buyer who decides whether to accept or reject it in every bargaining round. Existing theories suggest that the presence (absence) of an arbitrarily small outside option...
