On the malleability of fairness ideals : order effects in partial and impartial allocation tasks
Dengler-Roscher, Kathrin; Montinari, Natalia; … - 2015
How malleable are peopleś fairness ideals? Although fairness is an oft-invoked concept in allocation situations, it is … still unclear whether and to what extent peopleś allocations reflect their fairness ideals. We investigate in a laboratory … experiment whether peopleś fairness ideals vary with respect to changes in the order in which they undertake two allocation tasks …

It's all about Connections: Evidence on Network Formation
Falk, Armin; Kosfeld, Michael - 2003
We present an economic experiment on network formation, in which subjects can decide to form links to one another. Direct links are costly but being connected is valuable. The gametheoretic basis for our experiment is the model of Bala and Goyal (2000). They distinguish between two scenarios...

Collectively ranking candidates: An axiomatic approach
Güth, Werner - 2011
Different evaluators typically disagree how to rank different candidates since they care more or less for the various qualities of the candidates. It is assumed that all evaluators submit vector bids assigning a monetary bid for each possible rank order. The rules must specify for all possible...

A free and fair economy : a game of justice and inclusion
Demeze-Jouatsa, Ghislain H.; Pongou, Roland; Tondji, … - 2021
Frequent violations of fair principles in real-life settings raise the fundamental question of whether such principles can guarantee the existence of a self-enforcing equilibrium in a free economy. We show that elementary principles of distributive justice guarantee that a pure-strategy Nash...

On the context-dependency of inequality aversion : experimental evidence and a stylized model
Bäker, Agnes; Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, … - 2012
We consider three-person envy games with a proposer, a responder, and a dummy player. In this class of games, the proposer, rather than allocating a constant pie, chooses the pie size which the responder can then accept or reject while the dummy player can only refuse his own share. While the...

Kinky choices, dictators and split might : a non-cooperative model for household consumption and labor supply
Boone, Jan; Wiel, Karen van der; Vermeulen, Frederic - 2009
It is unlikely that husbands and wives always agree on exactly what public goods to buy. Nor do they necessarily agree on how many hours to work with obvious consequences for the household budget. We therefore model consumption and labor supply behavior of a couple in a non-cooperative setting...

Kinky choices, dictators and split might : a non-cooperative model for household consumption and labor supply
Boone, Jan; Wiel, Karen van der; Soest, Arthur van; … - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 3 (2014), pp. 1-19
We model consumption and labor supply behavior of a couple in a non-cooperative setting. Using minimal assumptions, we prove that demand for public goods is characterized by three regimes. It is either determined by the preferences of one of the partners only (Husband Dictatorship or Wife...
