From the lab to the field: envelopes, dictators and manners
Stoop, Jan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
Results are reported of the first natural field experiment on the dictator game, where subjects are unaware that they participate in an experiment. In contrast to predictions of the standard economic model, dictators show a large degree of pro-social behavior. This paper builds a bridge from the...

Altruism or Artefact? A Note on Dictator Game Giving
Bardsley, Nicholas - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2005
Experimental dictator games have been used to explore unselfish behaviour. Evidence is presented here, however, that subjects’ generosity can be reversed by allowing them to take money from a partner. Dictator game giving therefore does not stem from orthodox social preferences. It can be...

Do People Care about Social Context? Framing Effects in Dictator Games
Dreber, Anna; Ellingsen, Tore; Johannesson, Magnus; … - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 2011
Many previous experiments document that behavior in multi-person settings responds to the name of the game and the labeling of strategies. Usually these studies cannot tell whether frames affect preferences or beliefs. In this Dictator game study, we investigate whether social framing effects...

The development of trust and altruism during childhood
Evans, Anthony M.; Athenstaedt, Ursula; Krueger, Joachim I. - In: Journal of Economic Psychology 36 (2013) C, pp. 82-95
have examined the development of trust while controlling for age differences in altruism. We hypothesized that older … children are more likely to trust, and that this age-related increase is not due to an increase in altruism. In two experiments … positively related to both trust and altruism, but more strongly to the former. The age difference in trust was robust when we …

Accepting zero in the ultimatum game does not reflect selfish preferences
Staffiero, Gianandrea; Exadaktylos, Filippos; Espín, … - In: Economics Letters 121 (2013) 2, pp. 236-238
We show that subjects who set their minimum acceptable offer to zero in an ultimatum game are the most generous players in a dictator game. This finding challenges the interpretation of the acceptance of low offers as payoff-maximizing behavior.

Learning to be fair
Andreozzi, Luciano - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 90 (2013) C, pp. 181-195
We study the process of equilibrium selection in games when players have social preferences of the type discussed, among others, by Rabin (1993) and Segal and Sobel (2007). To this end, we employ a standard noisy version of the best response dynamics. We obtain several results concerning some...
