Borgloh, Sarah; Dannenberg, Astrid; Aretz, Bodo - 2010
This paper studies the construction of social preferences in the lab. Experimental subjects have the opportunity to donate to a charity and to allocate money in a conventional dictator game. The results show that charitable donations and dictator game allocations are positively correlated. The...
