Conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion
Cubitt, Robin P.; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015
We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

Behavioural responses to unfair institutions : experimental evidence on rule compliance, norm polarisation, and trust
Columbus, Simon; Feld, Lars P.; Kasper, Matthias; … - 2023
This study investigates the effects of unfair enforcement of institutional rules on public good contributions, personal and social norms, and trust. In a preregistered online experiment (n = 1,038), we find that biased institutions reduce rule compliance compared to fair institutions. However,...

Temporary workers are not free-riders : an experimental investigation
Dragone, Davide; Galeotti, Fabio; Orsini, Raimondello - 2013
We conduct an artefactual field experiment to study whether the individual preferences and propensity to cooperate of temporary workers differ from permanent contract workers. We find that temporary and permanent contract workers have different other-regarding preferences, but display similar...

Network Monitoring and Punishment in Public Goods Games
Boosey, Luke - 2014
We report experimental findings on the impact of network structure on decentralized monitoring and punishment in public goods games. In the environments we study, individuals can only directly monitor and punish their immediate neighbors in an exogenously determined network. We examine...

Variants of the Monoamine Oxidase A Gene (MAOA) predict free-riding behavior in women in a strategic public goods experiment
Mertins, Vanessa; Schote, Andrea B.; Meyer, Jobst - 2013
Laboratory experiments have documented substantial heterogeneity in social preferences, but little is known about the … origins of such behavior. Previous research on public goods experiments suggests that individual-level demographic and … behavior. For this reason, we identify types of players within a strategic public goods experiment. We explicitly test for an …
