Other-Regarding Preferences, Group Identity and Political Participation : An Experiment

Robalo, Pedro Brito; Schram, Arthur J. H. C.; … - 2013

We experimentally study the relationship between other-regarding preferences, group identity and political … participation. In doing so, we propose a novel group identity induction procedure that succeeds in creating environments where in … differences between environments where group identity is high and low. This suggests that the higher participation observed in …

How Robust is Laboratory Gift Exchange?

Charness, Gary; Fréchette, Guillaume R.; Kagel, John H. - 2002

The gift-exchange game is a form of sequential prisoner's dilemma, developed by Fehr, Kirchsteiger, and Riedl (1993), and popularized in a series of papers by Ernst Fehr and co-authors. While the European studies typically feature a high degree of gift exchange, the few U.S. studies provide some...

Starting small toward voluntary formation of efficient large groups in public goods provision

Charness, Gary; Yang, Chun-Lei - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 102 (2014) C, pp. 119-132

We test a mechanism whereby groups are formed voluntarily, through the use of voting. These groups play a public-goods game, where efficiency increases with group size (up to a limit, in one treatment). It is feasible to exclude group members, to exit one's group, or to form larger groups...

Are teams less inequality averse than individuals?

He, Haoran; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2014

We compare inequality aversion in individuals and teams by means of both within- and between-subject experimental designs, and we investigate how teams aggregate individual preferences. We find that team decisions reveal less inequality aversion than individual initial proposals in team...

Affirmative action or just discrimination? : a study on the endogenous emergence of quotas

Balafoutas, Loukas; Davis, Brent J.; Sutter, Matthias - 2016 - This version: 16 February 2016

Affirmative action rules are often implemented to promote women on labor markets. Little is known, however, about how and whether such rules emerge endogenously in groups of potentially affected subjects. We experimentally investigate whether subjects vote for affirmative action rules, against,...

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...

Collective intertemporal decisions and heterogeneity in groups

Glätzle-Rützler, Daniela; Lergetporer, Philipp; … - 2021

Many important intertemporal decisions are made by groups rather than individuals. What happens to collective decisions when there is internal conflict about the tradeoff between present and future has not been thoroughly investigated so far. We study experimentally the causal effect of group...
