Borgloh, Sarah; Dannenberg, Astrid; Aretz, Bodo - 2010

This paper studies the construction of social preferences in the lab. Experimental subjects have the opportunity to donate to a charity and to allocate money in a conventional dictator game. The results show that charitable donations and dictator game allocations are positively correlated. The...

The Dynamic Interplay of Inequality and Trust - An Experimental Study

Greiner, Ben - 2008

We study the interplay of inequality and trust in a dynamic game, in which trust increases efficiency and thus allows … higher growth of the experimental economy in the future. We find that trust is initially high in a treatment starting with … equal endowments, but decreases over time. In a treatment with unequal endowments, trust is initially lower yet remains …

Timing of Kindness - Evidence from a Field Experiment

Ockenfels, Axel - 2014

We conduct a field experiment in a naturally occurring labor environment and track whether the performance of workers responds to unexpected wage increases. Specifically, we investigate how the timing of wage increases affects efforts. We find that workers' performance is about 11% higher for...

Inequity Aversion and Individual Behavior in Public Good Games: An Experimental Investigation

Dannenberg, Astrid; Riechmann, Thomas; Sturm, Bodo; … - 2007

We present a simple two-steps procedure for a within-subject test of the inequity aversion model of Fehr and Schmidt (1999). In the first step, subjects played modified ultimatum and dictator games and were classified according to their preferences. In the second step, subjects with specific...

Do Equity Preferences Matter in Climate Negotiations? An Experimental Investigation

Dannenberg, Astrid; Sturm, Bodo; Vogt, Carsten - 2007

This paper investigates in how far equity preferences may matter for climate negotiations. For this purposes we conducted a simple experiment with people who have been involved in international climate policy. The experiment, which was run via the Internet, consisted of two simple non-strategic...

Does Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Modified Food Grant Consumers the Right to Know? Evidence from an Economic Experiment

Dannenberg, Astrid; Scatasta, Sara; Sturm, Bodo - 2008

Opponents of the voluntary labeling scheme for genetically modified (GM) food products often argue that consumers have the ?right to know? and therefore advocate mandatory labeling. In this paper we argue against this line of reasoning. Using experimental auctions conducted with a sample of the...

Stability and explanatory power of inequality aversion: an investigation of the house money effect

Dannenberg, Astrid; Riechmann, Thomas; Sturm, Bodo; … - 2010

In this paper, we analyse if individual inequality aversion measured with simple experimental games depends on whether the monetary endowment in these games is either a windfall gain ("house money") or a reward for a certain effort-related performance. Moreover, we analyse whether the way of...
