We propose an experimental method whose purpose is to induce selfish behavior in games for a broad class of social preferences. It provides a theoretical framework for testing game theoretical predictions by confronting subjects with a commonly known payoff matrix actually representing their...

Anonymity in the dictator game revisited
Franzen, Axel; Pointner, Sonja - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 81 (2012) 1, pp. 74-81

Students, temporary workers and co-op workers: An experimental investigation on social preferences
Dragone, Davide; Galeotti, Fabio; Orsini, Raimondello - In: Games 6 (2015) 2, pp. 79-123
We conduct an artefactual field experiment to compare the individual preferences and propensity to cooperate of three pools of subjects: Undergraduate students, temporary workers and permanent workers. We find that students are more selfish and contribute less than workers. Temporary and...
