Rotten spouses, family transfers and public goods
Cremer, Helmuth; Roeder, Kerstin - 2014
We show that once interfamily exchanges are considered, Becker's rotten kids mechanism has some remarkable implications that have gone hitherto unnoticed. Specifically, we establish that Cornes and Silva's (1999) result of efficiency in the contribution game amongst siblings extends to a setting...

When a nudge backfires : using observation with social and economic incentives to promote pro-social behavior
Bolton, Gary E.; Dimant, Eugen; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2019 - This version: April 21, 2019
Both theory and recent empirical evidence on nudging suggest that observability of behavior acts as an instrument for promoting (discouraging) pro-social (anti-social) behavior. Our study questions the universality of these claims. We employ a novel four-party setup to disentangle the roles that...
