Hey look at me : the effect of giving circles on giving
Karlan, Dean; McConnell, Margaret A. - 2012
Theories abound for why individuals give to charity. We conduct a field experiment with donors to a Yale University service club to test the impact of a promise of public recognition on giving. Some may claim that they respond to an offer of public recognition not to improve their social...

Stochastic income and conditional generosity
Kellner, Christian; Reinstein, David; Riener, Gerhard - 2015
We study how other-regarding behavior extends to environments with uncertain income and conditional commitments. Should fundraisers ask a banker to donate "if he earns a bonus" or wait and ask after the bonus is known? Standard EU theory predicts these are equivalent; loss-aversion and signaling...

Is There a 'Hidden Cost' of Control in Naturally-Occurring Markets? Evidence from a Natural Field Experiment
Landry, Craig E. - 2011
Several recent laboratory experiments have shown that the use of explicit incentives - such as conditional rewards and punishment - entail considerable “hidden” costs. The costs are hidden in the sense that they escape our attention if our reasoning is based on the assumption that people are...

Carpenter, Jeffrey P. - 2017
There is now an extensive literature on "gift exchange" showing that when principals and agents can trade "gifts" (rewards that should not emerge in a competitive equilibrium), exchange becomes more efficient. However, it is not obvious how gift exchange should be organized if the principal's...
