Studying deception without deceiving participants: An experiment of deception experiments
Alberti, Federica; Güth, Werner - 2012
Banning deception in economic experiments does not exclude experiments with participants in the role of experimenters … who can gain by deceiving those in the role of participants. We compare treatments with and without possible deception by … experimenter-participants to test whether deception aects behaviour of participant-participants in a dictator experiment and …

Strategic communication: An experimental investigation
Eckartz, Katharina; Ehses-Friedrich, Christiane - 2014
In this paper we attempt to compare theoretically and experimentally three models of strategic information transmission. In particular we focus on the models by Crawford & Sobel (1982), Lai (2010) and Ehses-Friedrich (2011). These three models differ in the information that the receiver...

A voluntary contribution experiment with one-way communication and income heterogeneity
Koukoumelis, Anastasios; Levati, M. Vittoria; Weisser, … - 2010
One-way communication has been found to substantially increase contributions in linear voluntary contribution mechanisms. We confirm the robustness of this result in the presence of income heterogeneity.

Charitable giving among females and males: An empirical test of the competitive altruism hypothesis
Böhm, Robert; Regner, Tobias - 2012
We conduct a real-effort task experiment where subjects' performance translates into a donation to a charity. In a within-subjects design we vary the visibility of the donation (no/private/public feedback). Confirming previous studies, we find that subjects' performance increases, that is, they...

Motives of sanctioning: Equity and emotions in a public good experiment with punishment
Crosetto, Paolo; Güth, Werner; Mittone, Luigi; Ploner, … - 2012
We study conditional cooperation based on a sequential two-person linear public good game in which a trusting first contributor can be exploited by a second contributor. After playing this game the first contributor is allowed to punish the second contributor. The consequences of sanctioning...

Self-image and moral balancing: An experimental analysis
Ploner, Matteo; Regner, Tobias - 2013
In our experiment, a dictator game variant, the reported outcome of a die roll determines the endowment (low/high) in a subsequent dictator game. In one treatment the experimenter is present and no cheating is possible, while in another subjects can enter the result of the roll themselves. Moral...
