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 … find that intentions matter and that consequences have an asymmetric impact: trustees reward trust more when trust is more …

Co-employment of permanently and temporarily employed agents
Güth, Werner; Kocher, Martin; Angelova, Vera - 2010
One-shot interaction and repeated interaction often co-exist in the real world. We study possible behavioral effects of this co-existence in a principal-agent setting, in which a principal simultaneously employs a permanent and a temporary agent. Our experimental results indicate that there is...

Exploring the effects of unequal and secretive pay
Fischer, Sven; Steiger, Eva-Maria - 2009
We experimentally test whether intentional and observable discriminatory pay of symmetric agents in the Winter (2004) game causes low paid agents to reduce effort. We control for intentionality of wages by either allowing a principal to determine wages or by implementing a random process. Our...

Unravelling conditional cooperation : reciprocity, inequity aversion, and anchoring in public goods provision
Cappelletti, Dominique; Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo - 2011
Extensive research on human cooperation in social dilemmas has shown that individuals condition their behaviour upon the behaviour of others. However, few attempts have been made to disentangle the motivations backing conditional cooperation. We try to assess the relative importance of three...
