Smoothing spline analysis of variance decomposes a multivariate function into additive components. This decomposition not only provides an efficient way to model a multivariate function but also leads to meaningful inference by testing whether a certain component equals 0. No formal procedure is...

In this paper, we experimentally investigate how sending a signal of following social norms impacts people's cooperative behavior in a repeated public goods game, where we disentangle the effect of strategy and internalization of social norms on cooperation. We find that under the signaling...

This study explores the way in which social information about giving impacts the stability of distributional preferences. We designed a two-stage treatment which varied the information participants received about the maximum amounts given to recipients. Information on maximum giving can...
