Roy, Jaideep; Macko, Anna - 2008

The perception of fairness of an offer in ultimatum type games may not only depend upon the distributional aspects of the offer itself but also on the intentions of the proposer that an offer may signal. Recovering intentions is subtle and may depend heavily upon the environment and consequently...

Empathy, Guilt-Aversion and Patterns of Reciprocity

Pelligra, Vittorio - 2011

This paper reports the results of an experiment aimed at investigating the link between empathy, anticipated guilt and pro-social behavior. In particular we test the hypothesis that empathy modulates the anticipatory effect of guilt in bargaining situations and, more specifically, that it...

Deeds rather than omissions : how intended consequences provoke negative reciprocity

Schubert, Manuel - 2012

Intention-based models of reciprocity argue that people assess kindness by measuring the intended consequences of … alternatives and realized payoffs. Aggregate results suggest that intended consequences only weakly matter for negative reciprocity … invariant to intended consequences of actual behavior. -- Intentions ; reciprocity ; kindness ; gender …

The effect of random shocks on reciprocal behavior in dynamic principal-agent settings

Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Oexl, Regine - 2021

Previous work has shown that unobservable random shocks on output have a detrimental effect on effort provision in short-term ('static') employment relationships. Given the prevalence of long-term ('dynamic') relationships in firms, we investigate whether the impact of shocks is similarly...

Efficiency and voluntary redistribution under inequality

Aoyagi, Masaki; Nishimura, Naoko; Okano, Yoshitaka - 2017

This paper presents an experimental analysis of 2x2 coordination games in which player 1 earns a substantially higher payoff than player 2 except in the inefficient equilibrium where they earn the same payoffs. The main focus is on the comparison of two treatments with and without the ex post...

Psychological foundations of incentives

Fehr, Ernst; Falk, Armin - 2002

During the last two decades economists have made much progress in understanding incentives, contracts and organisations. Yet, they constrained their attention to a very narrow and empirically questionable view of human motivation. The purpose of this paper is to show that this narrow view of...

Bargaining and time preferences : an experimental study

Kim, Jeongbin; Lim, Wooyoung; Schweighofer-Kodritsch, … - 2020

We generalize the Rubinstein (1982) bargaining model by disentangling payoff delay from bargaining delay. We show that our extension is isomorphic to generalized discounting with dynamic consistency and characterize the unique equilibrium. Using a novel experimental design to control for various...
