Testing the Single-Peakedness of Other-Regarding Preferences
Levati, Maria Vittoria - 2019
We test an implication that is common to all prominent theories of outcome-based other-regarding preferences: the ordinal preference ranking of an agent over a finite number of alternatives lying on any straight line in the space of material payoffs to oneself and some other agent must be...

Testing the framework of other-regarding preferences
Levati, M. Vittoria; Nicholas, Aaron; Rai, Birendra - 2011
We assess the empirical validity of the overall theoretical framework of other-regarding preferences by focusing on those preference axioms that are common to all the prominent theories of outcome-based other-regarding preferences. This common set of preference axioms leads to a testable...

Understanding Social Preference with Simple Tests
Charness, Gary; Rabin, Matthew - 2001
Departures from self-interest in economic experiments have recently inspired models of ?social preferences?. We design a range of simple experimental games that test these theories more directly than existing experiments. Our experiments show that subjects are more concerned with increasing...

Social Preferences on Networks
Rezaei, Sarah - 2020
We develop a model of social preferences for network games and study its predictions in a local public goods game with multiple equilibria. The key feature of our model is that players' social preferences are heterogeneous. This gives room for disagreement between players about the “right”...

Expressed Preferences and Behavior in Experimental Games
Charness, Gary; Rabin, Matthew - 2004
Participants in experimental games typically can only choose actions, without making comments about other participants' future actions. In sequential two-person games, we allow first movers to express a preference between responder choices. We find that responder behavior differs substantially...

Social Preferences, Efficiency and Personal Values in Ultimatum Bargaining
Lönnqvist, Jan-Erik - 2013
How do people trade off efficiency against equality concerns? To study this question, we conducted a modified mini ultimatum game (N=120) in which proposers were asked to choose between offering 8:2 and y:y, y∈{5, 4.5, 4,.., 0.5}; all offers in Euro. According to the data, 58 of 60 proposers...
