Efficiency under contractual incompleteness often requires voluntary cooperation in situations where self-regarding incentives for contractual compliance are present as well. Here we provide a comprehensive experimental analysis based on the gift-exchange game of how explicit and implicit...

The effects of (incentivized) belief elicitation in public goods experiments
Gächter, Simon; Renner, Elke - 2010
Belief elicitation is an important methodological issue for experimental economists. There are two generic questions: 1) Do incentives increase belief accuracy? 2) Are there interaction effects of beliefs and decisions? We investigate these questions in the case of finitely repeated public goods...

Human pro-social motivation and the maintenance of social order
Gächter, Simon - 2014

Leaders as role models for the voluntary provision of public goods
Gächter, Simon; Renner, Elke - 2014
We investigate the link between leadership, beliefs and pro-social behavior. This link is interesting because field evidence suggests that people's behavior in domains like charitable giving, tax evasion, corporate culture and corruption is influenced by leaders (CEOs, politicians) and beliefs...
