The dynamics of dictator behavior
Sass, Markus; Timme, Florian; Weimann, Joachim - 2015
Choosing between selfish and non-selfish behavior in real life is a repeated decision with var-ying time spans between repetitions. To learn more about the dynamics of altruistic behavior, we use repeated standard dictator experiments. The dynamics of prosocial behavior in these experiments...
