In this paper, we report an experimental investigation of the effect of framing on social preferences, as revealed in a one-shot linear public goods game. We use two indicators to measure social preferences: self-reported emotional responses; and, as a behavioural indicator of disapproval,...

We show that a number of previously isolated experimental results for behavior in stag-hunt coordination games can all be described by means of reference-dependent preferences. This includes an aversion to negative payoffs (loss avoidance) and a sensitivity to payoff differences. In addition, we...

Deferred Acceptance (DA), a widely implemented algorithm, is meant to improve allocations: under classical preferences, it induces preference-concordant rankings. However, recent evidence shows that—in both real, large-stakes applications and experiments—participants frequently play...
