Persuadable or Dissuadable Altruists? The Impact of Information of Recipient Characteristics on Giving
We investigate how information about recipients’ characteristics affects donors’ giving as opposed to when no information is available. In a rational model in which information causes a donor to update their assessment of the recipient's deservingness, we introduce the idea that altruism can be ‘persuadable’ (‘dissuadable’) by information about positive (negative) characteristics. We report data from three experiments in which donors are provided…
Gender Bias in Parental Attitude: An Experimental Approach
Parental bias toward children of a particular gender has been widely observed in many societies. Such bias could be due to pure gender preference or differences in earning opportunities and concern for old-age support. We conduct a high-stakes allocation task (subjects allocate the equivalent of one day’s wages between male and female school-aged students) in rural Bangladesh to examine parental attitudes toward male and female children. Parents,…

Fiscal Competition Among States in Australia: The Demise of Death Duties
This study examines interstate migration in Australia for the period 1972–1985 to determine if it was influenced by Tiebout-style fiscal competition. In particular, it examines the impact of Queensland's abolition of death duties in the mid-1970s. The evidence presented is consistent with the common wisdom surrounding the event as well as with the Tiebout hypothesis. Interstate migration during this period appears to have been in favor of Queensl…
