In a step-level public-good experiment, we investigate how the order of moves (simultaneous vs. sequential) and number step levels (one two) affects provision in two-player game. We find that sequential significantly improves payoffs, even though second movers often punish first who give less than half threshold contribution. The additional level—which is not feasible standard Nash equilibrium—leads to higher contributions but does improve lowers payoffs. calibrate parameters Fehr Schmidt’s...
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...
We analyze dictator allocation decisions in an experiment where the recipients have to earn pot be divided with a real-effort task. As move before dictators, their effort resemble first trust game. Depending on recipients’ performance, size of is either high or low. compare this treatment baseline windfall gain and lottery determines size. In treatment, reciprocity cannot play role. find that female dictators show decrease taking-rates significantly treatment. This effect larger when make...

Social dilemmas often impose negative externalities on third parties. We experimentally analyze gender differences in cooperation such a setting, i.e., prisoner's dilemma game, with passive party that may be harmed when active players mutually cooperate. Applying within-subjects we compare under anonymity and social information, as personal characteristics are commonly known real-life relations. Results show the presence of externality particularly affects guilt-averse women, who cooperate...
In this paper, we investigate how payment procedures that are deemed unfair can spur unethical behavior towards innocent coworkers in a real‐effort experiment. our Discrimination treatment, highly procedure with wage differentials, half the workforce is randomly selected and paid by relative performance whereas remaining receives no payment. A joy‐of‐destruction game measures subsequently. Non‐earners destroy significantly more than non‐discriminatory control treatments. , generally high for...
Gender differences in university teaching evaluations are well established, showing less favorable assessments of female instructors. It has also been shown that these cannot be linked to students' course performance, which would justify evaluations. The thus either due aspects do not affect student but their class experience (e.g., likability voice tone), or evaluation biases unrelated any actual experience. We find support for the latter mechanism when between instructors excluded by...
Diabetes is an important health burden in Indonesia. However, diabetes management and treatment remain poor, with most people Indonesia not achieving the recommended blood glucose levels. Peer education may have particular potential low-income settings complementing care without being a large additional strain on system. This cluster randomized controlled trial aims to identify effect of implementation peer for patients type 2 diabetes-related outcomes Aceh, Indonesia, which will complement...
In this paper, we discuss learning behavior and the heterogeneity of subjects' ability to perform in real-effort tasks. Afterwards, present a novel variant Erkal et al.'s (2011) encryption task which aims minimize repeated settings. task, participants encrypt words into numbers. our variant, apply double-randomization mechanism heterogeneity. Existing experiments with tasks find performance increase 12-14% between first second half. By contrast, mitigates down 2% The data show that subjects...
This paper shows that prior financial incentives induce a crowding‐out effect when are discontinued. In our real‐effort experiment workers receive piece rate before monetary substituted by one‐time payment. this case, workers' performance significantly drops receiving the The is driven fraction of men who reduce effort substantially, whereas women constantly perform well. We find motivational disappears do not have experience rate. series control treatments, we discard several alternative...
We analyze in a survey study whether economic preferences and pre-crisis social responsibility predict compliance to the policy regulations. Results show that are closely related with policies fighting crisis. Risk tolerance negatively affects citizens' avoidance of crowds, whereas patience helps do so stay home. Present-biased subjects engage panic buying. is fear COVID-19 trust positively resonates positive media perception. Pre-crisis responsible behavior fare evasion, turnout, support...
In this paper, we analyze how pay-regime procedures affect antisocial behavior at the workplace. a real-effort experiment vary two determinants of pay regimes: discrimination and justification payments by performance. our Discrimination treatment half workforce is randomly selected promoted participate in tournament (high-income workers) whereas other receives no payment (low-income workers). Afterwards, measured Joy-of-Destruction game where participants can destroy canteen vouchers. The...
This paper experimentally analyzes the role of individual social value orientation (SVO) on honest behavior. We focus a situation where dishonest behavior pays off at somebody else's cost. In which case, distributional preferences might matter for willingness to act honestly. To examine this link we conduct laboratory experiment first elicit SVO measure preferences. Afterwards, implement die rolling game an level. detect positive correlation between subjects' angle and Furthermore, data...
