This paper studies the dynamic effect of observability on prosocial behavior. We hypothesize a twofold positive effect …, we find only weak positive effects of observability on first-stage prosocial behavior and no effects on second …-stage prosocial behavior. …

We extend the literature structurally estimating social preferences by accounting for the desire to adhere to social norms. Our representative agent is strongly motivated by norms and failing to account for this causes us to overestimate how much agents care about helping those who are worse...

The conflict between pro-self and pro-social behaviour is at the core of many key problems of our time, as, for example … crucial to find mechanisms to promote pro-social choices over egoistic ones. Particularly important, because cheap and easy to …) can promote pro-social behaviour. However, little is known about whether their effect persists over time and spills across …

Much is known about heterogeneity in social preferences and about heterogeneity in lying aversion - but little is known about the relation between the two at the individual level. Are the altruists simply up- right persons who do not only care about the well-being of others but also about...

We use a range of dictator game experiments to investigate whether people avoid information altruistically. After learning about a product with positive externalities, a consumer may avoid learning the cost of the product so that she does not hesitate to act altruistically. We find that although...
