Pledges of commitment and cooperation in partnerships
Deer, Lachlan; Bayer, Ralph-C. - In: Games 7 (2016) 1, pp. 1-16

This study investigates the relationship between an actor’s beliefs about others’ other-regarding (social) preferences …. Simultaneously, we estimate the distribution of actors’ beliefs about others α and β, conditional on actors’ own α and β, with … counterparts. Results show a positive association between an actor’s own (α; β ) and her beliefs about average(α; β) in the …
