Social preferences during childhood and the role of gender and age : an experiment in Austria and Sweden

Peter Martinsson; Katarina Nordblom; Daniela Rützler; Matthias Sutter

We find that difference aversion decreases while social-welfare preferences increase with age. -- social preferences ; children ; adolescents ; distributional experiment ; Austria ; Sweden
