van de Ven, Jeroen; Villeval, Marie Claire - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014

We investigate how different forms of scrutiny affect dishonesty, using Gneezy's (2005) deception game. We add a third player whose interests are aligned with those of the sender. We find that lying behavior is not sensitive to revealing the sender's identity to the observer. The option for...
