(Over)-stylizing experimental findings and theorizing with sweeping generality
Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut; Levati, M. Vittoria - 2008
Human decision making is a process guided by different and partly competing mo-tivations that can each dominate behavior and lead to different effects depending on strength and circumstances. "Over-stylizingʺ neglects such competing concerns and context-dependence, although it facilitates the...

Testing the framework of other-regarding preferences
Levati, M. Vittoria; Nicholas, Aaron; Rai, Birendra - 2011
We assess the empirical validity of the overall theoretical framework of other-regarding preferences by focusing on those preference axioms that are common to all the prominent theories of outcome-based other-regarding preferences. This common set of preference axioms leads to a testable...

On the evolution of preferences
Gamba, Astrid - 2011
A common feature of the literature on the evolution of preferences is that evolution favors nonmaterialistic preferences only if preference types are observable at least to some degree. We argue that this result is due to the assumption that in each state of the evolutionary dynamics some...
