Ashamed to be selfish

Ashamed to be Selfish
Dillenberger, David; Sadowski, Philipp - 2009
We study a two-stage choice problem, where alternatives are allocations between the decision maker (DM) and a passive recipient. The recipient observes choice behavior in stage two, while stage one choice is unobserved. Choosing selfishly in stage two, in the face of a fairer available...

Reciprocity with uncertainty about others?
Sohn, Jin-yeong; Wu, Wenhao - 2021
We introduce the uncertainty of psychological motivation into a reciprocity model and explore its implications on behavior. We extend the Sequential Reciprocity Equilibrium in extensive-form games (Dufwenberg and Kirchsteiger, 2004) to a broader class of incomplete information games. We use this...

Fair allocation of disputed properties
Ju, Biung-Ghi; Moreno-Ternero, Juan D. - 2016
We model problems of allocating disputed properties as generalized exchange economies. Therein, agents have preferences and claims over multiple goods, and the social endowment of each good may not be sufficient to satisfy all individual claims. We focus on market-based allocation rules that...

Fairness and motivation : fair treatment creates incentives, and is beneficial for workers and the frim
Falk, Armin - 2014
How do firms motivate their employees to be productive? The conventional wisdom is that workers respond to monetary incentives - "Pay them more and they will work harder." However, a large and growing body of empirical evidence from laboratory and field experiments, surveys, and observational...
