Revealed notions of distributive justice II : experimental evidence

Becker, Nicole; Häger, Kirsten; Heufer, Jan - 2013

We report the results of a combination of a dictator experiment with either a “social planner” or a “veil of ignorance …” experiment. The experimental design and the analysis of the data are based on the theoretical framework proposed in the companion … Agreement and Symmetry axioms proposed in BHH; we find that for 80% of participants the evidence is very strong. The experiment …

Measuring socially appropriate social preferences

Carpenter, Jeffrey P.; Robbett, Andrea - 2022

We extend the literature structurally estimating social preferences by accounting for the desire to adhere to social norms. Our representative agent is strongly motivated by norms and failing to account for this causes us to overestimate how much agents care about helping those who are worse...

The Effect of Social Information in the Dictator Game with a Taking Option

O'Garra, Tanya - 2019

We experimentally study how redistribution choices are affected by positive and negative information regarding the behaviour of a previous participant in a dictator game with a taking option. We use the strategy method to identify behavioural ‘types', and thus distinguish ‘conformists' from...

Revealed Social Preferences

Dolgopolov, Arthur - 2019

We use a revealed preference approach to develop tests for the observed behavior to be consistent with theories of social preferences. In particular, we provide nonparametric criteria for the observed set of choices to be generated by inequality averse preferences and increasing benevolence...

Anticipated communication in the ultimatum game

Capizzani, Mario; Mittone, Luigi; Musau, Andrew; … - In: Games 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1-20

Anticipated verbal feedback in a dictator game has been shown to induce altruistic behavior. However, in the ultimatum game which, apart from generosity, entails a strategic component since a proposer may (rightly) fear that the responder will reject a low offer, it remains an open question...

Self-serving use of equity rules in bargaining with asymmetric outside options

Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Rilke, Rainer … - 2013

We experimentally investigate multiple notions of equity in ultimatum bargaining with asymmetric outside options. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978), we derive three different equity rules that can explain 43% of all offers. Our within-subject design further...

Bargaining over waiting time in gain and loss framed ultimatum games

Doll, Monika; Seebauer, Michael; Tonn, Maren - 2017

We implement waiting time as a currency in an ultimatum game in an experimental laboratory study. Subjects had to split 60 minutes of waiting time. We analyze bargaining behavior in varying situations connected to waiting time as well as gain and loss framing. Different situations that follow...

Self-serving use of equity rules in bargaining with asymmetric outside options : conference paper

Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Rilke, Rainer … - 2013

We experimentally investigate the relevance of (asymmetric) outside options in ultimatum bargaining. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978) we derive three different equity rules. These equity rules can explain 43% of all o ers. Our within-subject design allows...
