The value of bad ratings : an experiment on the impact of distortions in reputation systems
Keser, Claudia; Späth, Maximilian - 2020
We study the robustness of reputation management systems against distortions in rating behavior. In a laboratory trust … experiment with reputation management, we mimic a positive bias by exclusively offering the option to rate positively or to give …. This highlights the importance of negative ratings for the effectiveness of reputation systems. …

Reciprocity under moral wiggle room : is it a preference or a constraint?
Regner, Tobias - 2016
We analyze reciprocal behavior when moral wiggle room exists. Dana et al. (2007) show that giving in a dictator game is only partly due to distributional preferences as the giving rate drops when situational excuses for selfish behavior are provided. Our binary trust game closely follows their...

Conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion
Cubitt, Robin P.; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015
We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

Do reciprocators exploit or resist moral wiggle room? : an experimental analysis
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2015
By now there is substantial experimental evidence that people make use of "moral wiggle room" (Dana et al., 2007), that is, they tend to exploit moral excuses for selfish behavior. However, this evidence is limited to dictator games. In our experiment, a trust game variant, we study whether...

Social Norms, Information and Trust Among Strangers : Theory and Evidence
Duffy, John - 2016
How do norms of trust and reciprocity arise? We investigate this question by examining behavior in an experiment where subjects play a series of indefinitely repeated trust games. Players are randomly and anonymously matched each period. The parameters of the game are chosen so as to support...

Gender and Culture : International Experimental Evidence from Trust Games
Croson, Rachel T. A.; Buchan, Nancy - 2000
This paper experimentally examines gender differences in bargaining using the 'trust game' introduced by Joyce Berg, John Dickhaut and Kevin McCabe (1995). We find no significant effect of gender on trusting behavior, but find that women reciprocate their partner's trust significantly more than...

Cooperation, competition, and welfare in a matching market
Bester, Helmut; Sákovics, József - 2022
We investigate the welfare effect of increasing competition in an anonymous two-sided matching market, where matched pairs play an infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. Higher matching efficiency is usually considered detrimental as it creates stronger incentives for defection. We point out,...
