The goal is to investigate relative effectiveness exogenous regulatory pressure and pro‐social emotions promoting cooperative behavior public goods context. random revelation an individual's contribution its consequences for rest group leads significantly higher good contributions social welfare than pressure, even under regulations that are designed...
Organizations need a better "learning by doing" approach.
Although the contingent valuation method has been widely used to value a diverse array of non-market environmental and natural resource commodities, recent empirical evidence suggests it may not accurately estimate real economic values. The hypothetical nature surveys typically results in responses that are significantly greater than actual payments. Economists have had mixed success developing techniques designed control for this “hypothetical bias.” This paper highlights role experimental...
This article uses experimental data to test for a complementary relationship between formal regulations imposed on community conserve local natural resource and nonbinding verbal agreements do the same. Our experiments were conducted in field three regions of Colombia. results suggest that hypothesis communication external regulation is supported some combinations but cannot be general. We conclude determination whether informal are must made community‐by‐community basis. ( JEL C93, H41, Q20, Q28)
We investigate the effects of law enforcement framing and social context on compliance with in a lab-in-field experiment. In particular, we examine simple lottery choice as problem, noncompliance imposing an external cost independent third parties, providing public good to other group members. varied probability monitoring for each these contexts from low probabilities that would not induce risk-neutral individual comply high motivate such comply. Increased had positive effect regardless...
Individuals are widely believed to overstate their economic valuation of a good by factor two or three. This paper reports the results meta-analysis hypothetical bias in 28 stated preference studies that report monetary willingness-to-pay and used same mechanism for eliciting both actual values. The papers generated 83 observations with median value ratio 1.35, distribution has severe positive skewness. Since comprehensive theory not been developed, we use set explanatory variables based on...
This study explores whether an oath to honesty can reduce both shirking and lying among crowd-sourced internet workers. Using a classic coin-flip experiment, we first confirm that substantial majority of Mechanical Turk workers shirk lie when reporting the number heads flipped. We then demonstrate be reduced by asking each worker swear voluntarily on his or her honor tell truth in subsequent economic decisions. Even this online, purely anonymous environment, significantly percent subjects...
One of the major figures in this book, Roman educator Quintilian, points out that writing -- unlike speaking must always be learned from a teacher since it cannot by natural imitation as oral language is. He uses example two-year-old who can understand and speak even though child is years away being able to taught rudiments written alphabet. Writing instruction therefore plays an important role any literate culture. This book offers survey ways which has been Western culture, ancient Greece...
Integrating information from existing research, qualitative ethnographic interviews, and participant observation, we designed a field experiment that introduces idiosyncratic environmental risk voluntary sharing decision into standard public goods game. Conducted with subsistence resource users in rural villages on the Kamchatka Peninsula Northeast Siberia, find evidence consistent model of indirect reciprocity local social norms helping needy. When participants are allowed to develop...
