Unravelling conditional cooperation : reciprocity, inequity aversion, and anchoring in public goods provision

Cappelletti, Dominique; Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo - 2011

cooperation. We try to assess the relative importance of three motives - namely reciprocity, inequity aversion, and anchoring - in … a non-linear voluntary contribution experiment. We find that, for those conditionally cooperating, both reciprocity and … reciprocity. In contrast, anchoring plays only a marginal role. Compared to what previously found in linear voluntary contribution …

Intentions and consequences : an experimental investigation of trust and reciprocity determinants

Güth, Werner; Mugera, Harriet; Musau, Andrew; Ploner, … - 2012

We experimentally manipulate the efficiency of trust and reciprocity in a modified Investment Game. The aim of our … manipulation is to test whether reciprocity is mainly affected by payoff consequences of trust or by intentions underlying it. We … efficiency of trust as well as by efficiency of reciprocity. However, trustors do not fully exploit the high efficiency gains …

Downsizing the labor force by low and high profit firms : an experimental analysis

Güth, Werner; Paul, Christian - 2008

One may hope to capture the behavioral and emotional effects of downsizing the laborforce in rather abstract settings as an ultimatum game (see Fischer et al. (2008)), or try to explore downsizing in its more natural principalagent scenario with a labor market background. We pursue the latter...

Approximate truth of perfectness : an experimental test

Berninghaus, Siegfried; Güth, Werner; King, Li King - 2012

"Approximate truth" refers to the principle that border cases should be analyzed by solving generic cases and solving border cases as limits of generic ones (Brennan et al., 2008). Our study experimentally explores whether this conceptual principle is also behaviorally appealing. To do so, we...

Would you mind if I get more? : an experimental study of the envy game

Casal, Sandro; Güth, Werner; Jia, Mofei; Ploner, Matteo - 2011

Envy is often the cause of mutually harmful outcomes. We experimentally study the impact of envy in a bargaining setting in which there is no conflict in material interests: a proposer, holding the role of residual claimant, chooses the size of the pie to be shared with a responder, whose share...

Güth, Werner; Sääksvuori, Lauri - 2012

The provision of public goods regularly embodies interrelated spheres of influence on multiple scales. This article examines the nature of human behavior in a multilevel social dilemma game with positive provision externalities to local and global scales. We report experimental results showing...

On the context-dependency of inequality aversion : experimental evidence and a stylized model

Bäker, Agnes; Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, … - 2012

We consider three-person envy games with a proposer, a responder, and a dummy player. In this class of games, the proposer, rather than allocating a constant pie, chooses the pie size which the responder can then accept or reject while the dummy player can only refuse his own share. While the...
