Economic Man in Cross-Cultural Perspective: Behavioral Experiments in Fifteen Small-Scale Societies
Henrich, Joseph; Boyd, Robert; Bowles, Samuel; Camerer, … - Santa Fe Institute - 2001
Experimental behavioral scientists have found consistent deviations from the predictions of the canonical model of self-interest in over a hundred experiments from around the world. Prior research cannot determine whether this uniformity results from universal patterns of behavior, or from the...

Individual Irrationality and Aggregate Outcomes
Fehr, Ernst; Tyran, Jean-Robert - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich> - 2005
There is abundant evidence that many individuals violate the rationality assumptions routinely made in economics. However, powerful evidence also indicates that violations of individual rationality do not necessarily refute the aggregate predictions of standard economic models that assume full...

Super-Additive Cooperation
Efferson, Charles; Bernhard, Helen; Fischbacher, Urs; … - 2022

The missing type: Where are the inequality averse (students)?
Epper, Thomas; Senn, Julien; Fehr, Ernst - 2023
The empirical evidence on the existence of social preferences-or lack thereof-is predominantly based on student samples. Yet, knowledge about whether these findings can be extended to the general population is still scarce. In this paper, we compare the distribution of social preferences in a...

The fundamental properties, stability and predictive power of distributional preferences
Fehr, Ernst; Epper, Thomas; Senn, Julien - 2023
Parsimony is a desirable feature of economic models but almost all human behaviors are characterized by vast individual variation that appears to defy parsimony. How much parsimony do we need to give up to capture the fundamental aspects of a population's distributional preferences and to...

The empirical evidence on the existence of social preferences-or lack thereof-is predominantly based on student samples. Yet, knowledge about whether these findings can be extended to the general population is still scarce. In this paper, we compare the distribution of social preferences in a...
