Deeds rather than omissions : how intended consequences provoke negative reciprocity
Schubert, Manuel - 2012
Intention-based models of reciprocity argue that people assess kindness by measuring the intended consequences of … alternatives and realized payoffs. Aggregate results suggest that intended consequences only weakly matter for negative reciprocity … invariant to intended consequences of actual behavior. -- Intentions ; reciprocity ; kindness ; gender …

Intentions and Reciprocity
Roy, Jaideep; Macko, Anna - 2008
The perception of fairness of an offer in ultimatum type games may not only depend upon the distributional aspects of the offer itself but also on the intentions of the proposer that an offer may signal. Recovering intentions is subtle and may depend heavily upon the environment and consequently...

The effect of random shocks on reciprocal behavior in dynamic principal-agent settings
Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Oexl, Regine - 2021
Previous work has shown that unobservable random shocks on output have a detrimental effect on effort provision in short-term ('static') employment relationships. Given the prevalence of long-term ('dynamic') relationships in firms, we investigate whether the impact of shocks is similarly...

Psychological foundations of incentives
Fehr, Ernst; Falk, Armin - 2002
During the last two decades economists have made much progress in understanding incentives, contracts and organisations. Yet, they constrained their attention to a very narrow and empirically questionable view of human motivation. The purpose of this paper is to show that this narrow view of...

Why did he do that? : using counterfactuals to study the effect of intentions in extensive form games
Engler, Yola; Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Page, Lionel - 2016
We investigate the role of intentions in two-player two-stage games. For this purpose we systematically vary the set of opportunity sets the first mover can chose from and study how the second mover reacts not only to opportunities of gains but also of losses created by the choice of the first...

Beyond procedural equity and reciprocity
Chlaß, Nadine; Güth, Werner; Miettinen, Topi - 2009
Most research in economics models agents somehow motivated by outcomes. Here, we model agents motivated by procedures instead, where procedures are defined independently of an outcome. To that end, we design procedures which yield the same expected outcomes or carry the same information on...

Delegation and rewards
Vetter, Stefan Wilhelm - 2012 - This version: 29 March 2012
We study experimentally whether anti-corruption policies with a focus on bribery might be insufficient to uncover more subtle ways of gaining an unfair advantage. In particular, we investigate whether an implicit agreement to exchange favors between a decision-maker and a lobbying party serves...
