Donations, risk attitudes and time preferences : a study on altruism in primary school children
Angerer, Silvia; Glätzle-Rützler, Daniela; … - 2014
We study with a sample of 1,070 primary school children, aged seven to eleven years, how altruism in a donation experiment is related to children's risk attitudes and intertemporal choices. Examining such a relationship is motivated by theories of reciprocal altruism that provide a cornerstone...

Preferences for Consistency
Falk, Armin - 2011
This paper studies how a preference for consistency can affect economic decision-making. We propose a two-period model where people have a preference for consistency because consistent behavior allows them to signal personal and intellectual strength. We then present three experiments that study...

Buying and selling risk : an experiment investigating evaluation asymmetries
Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo; Soraperra, Ivan - 2013
Experimental studies of the WTP-WTA gap avoid social trading by implementing an incentive compatible mechanism for each individual trader. We compare a traditional random price mechanism and a novel elicitation mechanism preserving social trading, without sacrificing mutual incentive...

The endowment effect in games
Drouvelis, Michalis; Sonnemans, Joep - 2015
We study experimentally whether the endowment effect survives in a social and strategic context. Participants are asked for their Willingness-to-Accept (WTA) or Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) to play a series of 2x2 games. In the second part of the experiment, we study the endowment effect in...
