How malleable are people´s fairness ideals? Although fairness is an oft-invoked concept in allocation situations, it is still unclear whether and to what extent people´s allocations reflect their fairness ideals. We investigate in a laboratory experiment whether people´s fairness ideals vary...

We experimentally manipulate the efficiency of trust and reciprocity in a modified Investment Game. The aim of our … manipulation is to test whether reciprocity is mainly affected by payoff consequences of trust or by intentions underlying it. We … find that intentions matter and that consequences have an asymmetric impact: trustees reward trust more when trust is more …

Envy is often the cause of mutually harmful outcomes. We experimentally study the impact of envy in a bargaining setting in which there is no conflict in material interests: a proposer, holding the role of residual claimant, chooses the size of the pie to be shared with a responder, whose share...

We define and experimentally test a public provision mechanism that meets three basic ethical requirements and allows community members to influence, via monetary bids, which of several projects is implemented. For each project, participants are assigned personal values, which can be positive or...

This note reports a replication study of Falk and Kosfeld’s (2006) medium control treatment.In the experimental game, an agent has an endowment of 120 experimental currency units anddecides how much to transfer to a principal. For every unit that the agent gives up, the principalreceives two...

We experimentally examine how group identity affects trust behaviorin an investment game. In one treatment, group …) to minimal group identityto two-dimensional group identity, we find no significant differencesin trust decisions. However …, trust is significantly and positively correlatedwith contribution decisions, suggesting that "social" trust isbehaviorally …
