An ultimatum game with multidimensional response strategies
Güth, Werner; Levati, M. Vittoria; Nardi, Chiara; … - 2014
We enrich the choice task of responders in ultimatum games by allowing them to independently decide whether to collect what is offered to them and whether to destroy what the proposer demanded. Such a multidimensional response format intends to cast further light on the motives guiding responder...

Subjective expected utility in games
Di Tillio, Alfredo - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 3 (2008) 3, pp. 287-323
This paper extends Savage's subjective approach to probability and utility from decision problems under exogenous uncertainty to choice in strategic environments. Interactive uncertainty is modeled both explicitly, using hierarchies of preference relations, the analogue of beliefs hierarchies,...

Do i really want to know? : a cognitive dissonance-based explanation of other-regarding behavior
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2010
We investigate to what extent genuine social preferences can explain observed other-regarding behavior. In a dictator game variant subjects can choose whether to learn about the consequences of their choice for the receiver. We find that a majority of subjects showing other-regarding behavior...

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...

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...

Social Preferences and Voting on Reform - An Experimental Study
Paetzel, Fabian; Sausgruber, Rupert; Traub, Stefan - 2014
Debating over efficiency-enhancing but inequality-increasing reforms accounts for the routine business of democratic institutions. Fernandez and Rodrik (1991) hold that anti-reform bias can be attributed to individual-specific uncertainty regarding the distribution of gains and losses resulting...
