The Impact of Risk Perception and Risk Attitudes on Corrupt Behavior : Evidence from a Petty Corruption Experiment

Mir Djawadi, Behnud - 2013

abstract from confounding effects of reciprocal behavior, we design an experiment where a public official decides upon … early periods. Risk attitudes measured with a subsequent lottery-choice experiment do not correlate with the behavior … observed in the corruption experiment. We explain our findings by a systematic underestimation of the overall probability of …

Riedl, Arno - 2012

Existing experimental research on behavior in weakest-link games shows overwhelmingly the inability of people to coordinate on the efficient equilibrium, especially in larger groups. We hypothesize that people are able to coordinate on efficient outcomes, provided they have sufficient freedom to...
