The dynamics … of prosocial behavior in these experiments depends on the strength of several effects that influence gift giving in … experiments of this kind. In particular, we investigate how social distance influences behavior in repeated dictator experiments …

This paper studies how organizational design affects moral outcomes. Subjects face the decision to either kill mice for money or to save mice. We compare a Baseline treatment where subjects are fully pivotal to a Diffused-Pivotality treatment where subjects simultaneously choose in groups of...

The second … experiment underlines the crucial role of early commitment for consistency preferences. Finally we show how preferences for …
