An ultimatum game with multidimensional response strategies
Güth, Werner; Levati, M. Vittoria; Nardi, Chiara; … - 2014
We enrich the choice task of responders in ultimatum games by allowing them to independently decide whether to collect what is offered to them and whether to destroy what the proposer demanded. Such a multidimensional response format intends to cast further light on the motives guiding responder...

Do i really want to know? : a cognitive dissonance-based explanation of other-regarding behavior
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2010
We investigate to what extent genuine social preferences can explain observed other-regarding behavior. In a dictator game variant subjects can choose whether to learn about the consequences of their choice for the receiver. We find that a majority of subjects showing other-regarding behavior...

Do reciprocators exploit or resist moral wiggle room? : an experimental analysis
Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2015
By now there is substantial experimental evidence that people make use of "moral wiggle room" (Dana et al., 2007), that is, they tend to exploit moral excuses for selfish behavior. However, this evidence is limited to dictator games. In our experiment, a trust game variant, we study whether...

Behavioral research and empirical modeling of marketing channels : Implications for both fields and a call for future research
Meyer, Robert J. - 2020
Game-theoretic models of marketing channels typically rely on simplifying assumptions that, from a behavioral perspective, often appear naïve. However, behavioral researchers have produced such an abundance of behavioral regularities that they are impossible to incorporate into game-theoretic...

Reciprocity under moral wiggle room : is it a preference or a constraint?
Regner, Tobias - 2016
We analyze reciprocal behavior when moral wiggle room exists. Dana et al. (2007) show that giving in a dictator game is only partly due to distributional preferences as the giving rate drops when situational excuses for selfish behavior are provided. Our binary trust game closely follows their...

This chapter examines the role of altruistic motives in the economic analysis of public social transfers, both from a positive and from a normative point of view. The positive question is to know whether we can fully neglect altruistic considerations to explain the development or sustainability...

Chapter 7 The Formation of Social Preferences: Some Lessons from Psychology and Biology
Lvy-Garboua, Louis; Meidinger, Claude; Rapoport, Benot - In: Handbook of the economics of giving, altruism and …, (pp. 545-613). 2006
The goal of this paper is to draw some lessons for economic theory from research in psychology, social psychology and, more briefly, in biology, which purports to explain the formation of social preferences. We elicit the basic mechanisms whereby a variety of social preferences are determined in...
