How everyday threats undermine trust and hope : experimental evidence

Astruc--Le Souder, Mael; Bargain, Olivier; Knecht, Niclas - 2026

Trust in others is essential for the well-functioning of societies. While economists often study its longer-term determinants - such as cultural norms and historical shocks - shortterm fluctuation may be equally critical, particularly during pivotal moments (e.g, elections) or periods requiring...

Identity as self-image

Bénabou, Roland; Henkel, Luca - 2025

We review the economic literature on self-image, which conceptualizes identity as a set of beliefs about one's core traits, values, goals, and social ties. Self-image concerns lead individuals to process information and make choices in non-standard ways that help affirm and protect certain...

Ecchia, Giulio; Montinari, Natalia; Orsini, Raimondello; … - 2025

Firm performance depends critically on the efficient allocation of tasks across employees. Yet, task assignment decisions are often shaped not only by productivity considerations but also by managerial biases and gender stereotypes-frequently resulting in women being disproportionately assigned...

Delegated social responsibility : Is managerial prosociality a source of agency cost?

Szymczak, Wiebke - 2026

Agency theory holds that managerial discretion over stakeholder decisions creates agency costs through altruistic redistribution. We test this claim in a principal-agent experiment where agents choose effort and transfers affecting a third party under unenforceable flat-wage contracts. We find...
