We report evidence from public goods experiments with and without punishment which we onducted in Russia with 566 urban … of its long history of collectivism, and a huge urban-rural gap. In contrast to previous experiments we find no …

Psychology and economics rather than psychology versus economics: cultural differences but no barriers!
Brandstätter, Hermann; Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - 2008
During the last three decades the ascent of behavioral economics clearly helped to bring down artificial disciplinary boundaries between psychology and economics. Noting that behavioral economics seems still under the spell of the rational choice tradition and, indirectly, of behaviorism we...

Cognitive Ability and Human Behavior in Experimental Ultimatum Games
Kawamura, Tetsuya - 2019
Recent research has shed light on the effect of cognitive ability on economic decision-making. By measuring cognitive ability using Raven's progressive matrix test, we investigate this effect on human behavior in two types of experimental ultimatum games. We obtain two significant results....

When a nudge backfires : combining (im)plausible deniability with social and economic incentives to promote behavioral change
Bolton, Gary E.; Dimant, Eugen; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2020 - This version: January 17, 2020
Both theory and recent empirical evidence on nudging suggest that observability of behavior acts as an instrument for promoting (discouraging) pro-social (anti-social) behavior. We connect three streams of literature (nudging, social preferences, and social norms) to investigate the universality...

Information-constrained coordination of economic behavior
Aridor, Guy; Silveira, Rava Azeredo da; Woodford, Michael - 2024
We analyze a coordination game with information-constrained players. The players' actions are based on a noisy compressed representation of the game's payoffs in a particular case, where the compressed representation is a latent state learned by a variational autoencoder (VAE). Our generalized...

An Experimental Investigation of Alternatives to Expected Utility Using Pricing Data
Morone, Andrea; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2006
Experimental research on decision making under risk has until now always employed choice data in order to evaluate the empirical performance of expected utility and the alternative nonexpected utility theories. The present paper performs a similar analysis which relies on pricing data instead of...

Moral emotions and partnership
Bracht, Jürgen; Regner, Tobias - 2011
Actual behaviour is influenced in important ways by moral emotions, for instance guilt or shame (see among others Tangney et al., 2007). Belief-dependant models of social preferences using the framework of psychological games aim to consider such emotions to explain other-regarding behaviour....
