Does competition affect moral behavior? This fundamental question has been debated among leading scholars for centuries, and more recently, it tested in experimental studies yielding a body of rather inconclusive empirical evidence. A potential source ambivalent results on the same hypothesis is design heterogeneity-variation true effect sizes across various reasonable research protocols. To provide further evidence whether affects behavior to examine generalizability single study...
Modern life offers nearly unbridled access to information; it is the harnessing of this information guide decision-making that presents a challenge. We study how one individual may try shape way another person interprets objective by proposing causal explanation (or narrative) makes sense information. Using an experiment, we examine use narratives as persuasive tool in context financial advice where advisors hold incentives differ from those individuals they are advising. Our results reveal...
We study the effect of entitlement on willingness to lie. set up a model lying where individuals feel more or less entitled their endowment depending how they earned it. When given opportunity lie keep endowment, who are encouraged while others discouraged. To test predictions we use laboratory experiment compare behavior participants endowed with high and low endowment. In one treatment, allocation is decided by participants' performance, in other, it determined random draw. Our identifies...
This paper studies the implications of agents signaling their moral type in a lying game. In theoretical analysis, motive emerges where dislike being suspected and some lies are more stigmatized than others. The equilibrium prediction model can explain experimental data from previous studies, particular on partial lying, individuals lie to gain non payoff-maximizing amount. I discuss relationship with models that conceptualize image concern as an aversion provide applications narratives,...
