The anatomy of distributional preferences with group identity

Müller, Daniel - 2017

This paper dissects distributional preferences with group identity in a modified dictator game. I estimate individual-level utility functions with two parameters that govern the trade-offs between equity and efficiency and giving to self and to other. Subjects put on average less weight on...

Polarization in Group Interactions

Iyer, Ganesh; Yoganarasimhan, Hema - 2018

We study the phenomenon of strategic polarization in group interactions. Agents with private preferences choose a public action (e.g., voice opinions), and the mean of their actions represents the group’s realized outcome. They face a trade-off between influencing the group outcome and...

The Impact of Social Ties on Group Interactions : Evidence from Minimal Groups and Randomly Assigned Real Groups

Götte, Lorenz - 2012

Economists are increasingly interested in how group membership affects individual behavior. The standard method assigns individuals to “minimal” groups, i.e. arbitrary labels, in a lab. But real groups often involve social interactions leading to social ties between group members. Our...

Pricing group membership

Bandyopadhyay, Siddhartha; Cabrales, Antonio - 2020

We consider a model where agents differ in their ‘types’ which determines their voluntary contribution towards a public good. We analyze what the equilibrium composition of groups are under centralized and centralized choice. We show that there exists a top-down sorting equilibrium i.e. an...

Group Identification

Miller, Alan D. - 2010

I study a model of group identification in which individuals' opinions as to the membership of a group are aggregated to form a list of group members. Potential aggregation rules are studied through the axiomatic approach. I introduce two axioms, meet separability and join separability, each of...

Are groups really more dishonest than individuals?

Castillo, Geoffrey; Choo, Lawrence; Grimm, Veronika - 2020

A common finding of the literature on dishonesty is that groups are moredishonest than individuals. We revisit this finding by making explicit thethird-party harmed by subjects' dishonesty: a local charity. With this explicitthird-party, we do not find groups to be more dishonest than...

Are groups really more dishonest than individuals?

Castillo, Geoffrey; Choo, Lawrence; Grimm, Veronika - 2020

Groups are often found to be more rational than individuals. In lying games, this implies that groups are more dishonest. We scrutinise this conclusion in a setup where there are true moral concerns associated with dishonest behaviour. In contrast to prior studies, we do not find groups to be...

Endogenous social identity and group choice : conference paper

Hett, Florian; Kröll, Markus; Mechtel, Mario - 2014

This paper tests social identity theory with respect to individuals' self-identification behavior. We report results from a laboratory experiment in which subjects choose their group membership, which is interpreted as decision to identify with the respective group. Inducing a trade-off between...
