Robust mechanism design and social preferences
Bierbrauer, Felix; Ockenfels, Axel; Pollak, Andreas; … - 2014
We study a classic mechanism design problem: How to organize trade between two privately informed parties. We characterize an optimal mechanism under selfish preferences and present experimental evidence that, under such a mechanism, a non-negligible fraction of individuals deviates from the...

Pocketbook voting, social preferences, and expressive motives in referenda
Meya, Johannes; Poutvaara, Panu; Schwager, Robert - 2017
We develop and test a theory of voting and turnout decisions that integrates self-interest, social preferences, and expressive motives. Our model implies that if pocketbook benefits are relevant, voters either perceive their impact on the outcome to be non-negligible, or expressive motivations...
