Fochmann, Martin; Kocher, Martin G.; Müller, Nadja; … - 2019

Unethical behavior in organizations is usually associated with the risk of negative consequences for the organization and for the involved managers if being detected. The existing experimental literature in economics has so far mainly focused on the analysis of unethical behavior in environments...

I lie? We lie! Why? Experimental evidence on a dishonesty shift in groups

Kocher, Martin; Schudy, Simeon; Spantig, Lisa - 2016

Unethical behavior such as dishonesty, cheating and corruption occurs frequently in organizations or groups. Recent experimental evidence suggests that there is a stronger inclination to behave immorally in groups than individually. We ask if this is the case, and if so, why. Using a...

Lies in disguise : a theoretical analysis of cheating

Dufwenberg, Martin <Jr>; Dufwenberg, Martin - 2016

We perform a (psychological) game-theoretic analysis of cheating in the setting proposed by Fischbacher & Föllmi-Heusi (2013). The key assumption, which we refer to as perceived cheating aversion, is that the decision maker derives disutility in proportion to the amount in which he is perceived...

Deception and self-deception

Schwardman, Peter; Weele, Joël J. van der - 2016

We experimentally investigate the determinants of overconfidence and test the hypothesis, advanced by Robert Trivers, that overconfidence serves to more effectively persuade or deceive others. After performing a cognitively challenging task, half of our subjects are informed about the...

Disguising lies : image concerns and partial lying in cheating games

Khalmetski, Kiryl; Sliwka, Dirk - 2017

fixed cost of lying and image concerns not to be perceived as a liar. We show that equilibria naturally arise in which … agents with low costs of lying randomize among a set of the highest potential reports. Such equilibria induce a distribution … the range of reported lies while the effect of the fixed cost of lying is the opposite. …

Communication-enhancing vagueness

Wood, Daniel H. - In: Games 13 (2022) 4, pp. 1-27

I experimentally investigate how vague language changes the nature of communication in a biased strategic information transmission game. Counterintuitively, when both precise and imprecise messages can be sent, in aggregate, senders are more accurate, and receivers trust them more than when only...
