The behavioral validity of the strategy method in public good experiments

Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 33 (2012) 4, pp. 897-913

We compare the strategy method and the direct response method in public good experiments in a within-subject design. This comparison is interesting because the strategy method is frequently used to investigate preference heterogeneity. We find that people identified by the strategy method as...

Somebody may scold you! A dictator experiment

Festré, Agnès; Garrouste, Pierre - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 45 (2014) C, pp. 141-153

In this contribution, we investigate the effects of observation-only and observation with feedback from a third-party in a one-shot dictator game (DG). In addition to a baseline condition (DG), a third-party anonymous subject was introduced who either silently observed or observed and got to...

Testing models of information avoidance with binary choice dictator games

Feiler, Lauren - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 45 (2014) C, pp. 253-267

Standard social choice experiments generally force subjects to make decisions about giving money to another person, but the ability to avoid information outside of the lab could lead to less altruistic or fair behavior than such experiments tend to suggest. I expand on the design of Dana, Weber,...

Do as I Say, Don’t Do as I Do: Differences in moral judgments do not translate into differences in decisions in real-life trolley problems

Gold, Natalie; Pulford, Briony D.; Colman, Andrew M. - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 47 (2015) C, pp. 50-61

Many people judge that it is permissible to harm one person in order to save many in some circumstances but not in others: it matters how the harm comes about. Researchers have used trolley problems to investigate this phenomenon, eliciting moral judgments or behavioral predictions about...

Like ripples on a pond: Behavioral spillovers and their implications for research and policy

Dolan, Paul; Galizzi, Matteo M. - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 47 (2015) C, pp. 1-16

No behavior sits in a vacuum, and one behavior can greatly affect what happens next. We propose a conceptual frame within which a broad range of behavioral spillovers can be accounted for when applying behavioral science to policy challenges. We consider behaviors which take place sequentially...

Lying and age: An experimental study

Glätzle-Rützler, Daniela; Lergetporer, Philipp - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 46 (2015) C, pp. 12-25

Lying and deceiving is present not only in adults but also among children and teenagers and represents an economically and psychological relevant behavioral trait. It is therefore surprising that evidence from economic experiments on deceptive behavior in children and teenagers is scarce. In...

Not all anchors are created equal

Sugden, Robert; Zheng, Jiwei; Zizzo, Daniel John - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 39 (2013) C, pp. 21-31

We investigate the effects of a range of different types of anchor on WTP and WTA valuations of familiar consumer products, elicited through individuals’ buying or selling decisions at given prices. We find anchoring effects only when the anchor value is framed as a plausible price for the...

So when are you loss averse? Testing the S-shaped function in pricing and allocation tasks

Malul, Miki; Rosenboim, Mosi; Shavit, Tal - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 39 (2013) C, pp. 101-112

In this paper, we describe three different experiments that explore participants’ risk attitude. When we analyzed the average results, we found that participants behave as the S-shape value function predicts. However, breaking the data down on the individual level reveals that the S-shape is...

Reference dependent preferences, hedonic adaptation and tax evasion: Does the tax burden matter?

Bernasconi, Michele; Corazzini, Luca; Seri, Raffaello - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 40 (2014) C, pp. 103-118

We study the effects of the tax burden on tax evasion both theoretically and experimentally. We develop a theoretical framework of tax evasion decisions that is based on two behavioral assumptions: (1) taxpayers are endowed with reference dependent preferences that are subject to hedonic...
