I lie? We lie! Why? : experimental evidence on an dishonesty shift
Kocher, Martin; Schudy, Simeon; Spantig, Lisa - 2016
Unethical behavior such as dishonesty, cheating and corruption occurs frequently in organizations or groups. Recent experimental evidence suggests that there is a stronger inclination to behave immorally in groups than individually. We ask if this is the case, and if so, why. Using a...

Lies in disguise : a theoretical analysis of cheating
Dufwenberg, Martin <Jr>; Dufwenberg, Martin - 2016
We perform a (psychological) game-theoretic analysis of cheating in the setting proposed by Fischbacher & Föllmi-Heusi (2013). The key assumption, which we refer to as perceived cheating aversion, is that the decision maker derives disutility in proportion to the amount in which he is perceived...

Disguising lies : image concerns and partial lying in cheating games
Khalmetski, Kiryl; Sliwka, Dirk - 2017
fixed cost of lying and image concerns not to be perceived as a liar. We show that equilibria naturally arise in which … agents with low costs of lying randomize among a set of the highest potential reports. Such equilibria induce a distribution … the range of reported lies while the effect of the fixed cost of lying is the opposite. …

Gender differences in honesty : groups versus individuals
Mühlheußer, Gerd; Roider, Andreas; Wallmeier, Niklas - 2014
Extending the die rolling experiment of Fischbacher and Föllmi-Heusi (2013), we compare gender effects with respect to … group decisions. We find more lying in male groups and mixed groups than in female groups. …

Cheating and loss aversion : do people lie more to avoid a loss?
Grolleau, Gilles; Kocher, Martin; Sutan, Angela - 2014
Does the extent of cheating depend on a proper reference point? We use a real effort task that implements a two (gain versus loss frame) times two (monitored performance versus unmonitored performance) between-subjects design to examine whether cheating is reference-dependent. Our experimental...

Honesty nudges : effect varies with content but not with timing
Le Maux, Benoît; Necker, Sarah - 2023
We use a ten-round online mind game to determine whether the effect of honesty nudges depends on timing and content. Reminding individuals about the right thing to do increases honesty. Including information that it is possible to assess an individual's dishonesty strengthens the effect of the...

Preferences for truth-telling
Abeler, Johannes; Nosenzo, Daniele; Raymond, Collin - 2016
Private information is at the heart of many economic activities. For decades, economists have assumed that individuals are willing to misreport private information if this maximizes their material payoff. We combine data from 72 experimental studies in economics, psychology and sociology, and...
