Substantial evidence has accumulated in recent empirical works on the limited ability of the Nash equilibrium to rationalize observed behavior in many classes of games played by experimental subjects. This realization has led to several attempts aimed at finding tractable equilibrium concepts...

We study how cooperation-enforcing institutions dynamically affect values and behavior using a lab experiment designed to create individual specific histories of past institutional exposure. We show that the effect of past institutions is mostly due to “indirect” behavioral spillovers:...

We propose a simple utility framework and design a novel two-part experiment to study the relevance of personal norms … across various economic games and settings. We show that personal norms — together with social norms and monetary payoff … — are highly predictive of individuals’ behavior. Moreover, they are: i) distinct from social norms across a series of …
