Other-Regarding Preferences and Giving Decision in Risky Environments : Experimental Evidence

Beaud, Mickaël - 2018

This paper investigates if and how other-regarding preferences governing giving decisions in dictator games are affected in risky environments in which the payoff of the recipient is random. We demonstrate that, whenever the risk is actuarially neutral, the donation of dictators with a purely ex...
