Imagine being a nice guy: A note on hypothetical vs. incentivized social preferences

We conducted an experimental study on social preferences using dictator games similar to Fehr et al. (2008).

Our findings indicate that, apart from incentives, gender plays an important role for the categorization of different social preferences.
