How prosocial motives shape market exchange : experimental evidence from street vending

Jain, Ronak - 2026 - Revised version, January 2026

Markets are often seen as impersonal mechanisms of exchange, yet many real-world transactions are deeply social. This paper examines how prosocial motives interact with economic exchange and how this affects market outcomes. I study these questions in the context of street vending - a ubiquitous...

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...

An exploratory foray into the inclination to cooperate in spite of cooperation-induced stress

Stark, Oded; Kosiorowski, Grzegorz - 2026

We establish a new approach to the modeling of cooperation, and we formulate a new solution concept for cooperative games. We do this by constructing a game of cooperation between individuals who exhibit distaste for relative deprivation, RD, in the sense that they experience stress when their...

Childhood misbehavior, toxic personality and leadership

We introduce the "blue lies game," a sender-receiver interaction where lying benefits both the liar and her ingroup member at the outgroup's expense. Across 9,672 U.S. participants assigned to groups based on either random allocation or political partisanship, 38-57% of senders lie. An ingroup...

Identity uncertainty

Chakraborty, Anujit; Ghosh, Arkadev; Lowe, Matt; … - 2026

Many group identities that influence economic behavior are imperfectly observed. Individuals and institutions often conceal identity markers to limit discrimination. Yet concealment also creates uncertainty about group membership, hampering coordination in social interaction. To study this...

The honesty penalty : hiding mistakes in teams

Organisations benefit from the timely disclosure of mistakes, yet workers often conceal their errors. We examine the role of blame avoidance, hypothesising that mistakes associated with a larger loss in potential earnings increase blame and discourage disclosure. This creates a paradox: mistakes...
