  • Competing for Influence in Networks Through Strategic Targeting

    Open AccessMargherita Comola, Agnieszka Rusinowska et al.ARTICLEGames and Economic Behavior2024

    We experimentally investigate how players with opposing views compete for influence through strategic targeting in networks. We varied the network structure, the relative influence of the opponent, and the heterogeneity of the nodes’initial opinions. Although most players adopted a best-response strategy based on their relative influence, we also observed behaviors deviating from this strategy, such as the tendency to target central nodes and avo…

  • Teaching Norms: Direct Evidence of Parental Transmission

    Open AccessThijs Brouwer, Fabio Galeotti et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2022References: 4

    We examine the educative role played by parents in social norm transmission. Using a field experiment, we study whether parents enforce and comply more with norms when their children are present compared to when they are not. We compare similar parents when or after they drop off or pick up their children at school. We find that parents accompanying children, in contrast to parents alone, are more likely to punish norm violators and to provide he…

  • Fraud Deterrence Institutions Reduce Intrinsic Honesty

    Open AccessFabio Galeotti, Valeria Maggian et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2021Cited by: 1References: 6

    The impact of deterrence institutions beyond their immediate scope of application is unknown. Using a quasi-experiment with naturally occurring variation in inspections, we found evidence of spillover effects across contexts. We identified fraudsters and non-fraudsters on public transport who were or not exposed to ticket inspections. We measured the intrinsic honesty of the same persons in a new context where they could misappropriate money. Ins…

  • Bubbles and incentives: An experiment on asset markets

    Stéphane Robin, Kateřina Strážnická et al.ARTICLEEconomic and Political Studies2020References: 5

    We explore the effects of competitive incentives and of their time horizon on the evolution of both asset prices and trading activity in experimental asset markets. We compare (i) a no-bonus treatment; (ii) a short-term bonus treatment in which bonuses are assigned to the best performers at the end of each trading period; (iii) a long-term bonus treatment in which bonuses are assigned to the best performers at the end of the 15 periods of the mar…

  • Comportements (non) éthiques et stratégies morales

    Marie Claire VillevalARTICLERevue économique2019Cited by: 1References: 9

    La théorie du crime de Gary Becker a été mise à mal par une accumulation de preuves expérimentales qui ont mis en évidence une aversion intrinsèque des agents économiques au mensonge et l’importance de leurs croyances sur la perception de leur conduite morale par autrui. Cherchant à préserver leur réputation et leur image quand leurs actes génèrent des externalités négatives, les individus développent une variété de stratégies leur permettant de …

  • Doing Bad to Look Good: Negative Consequences of Image Concerns on Prosocial Behavior

    Ivan Soraperra, Anton Suvorov et al.ARTICLERevue économique2019References: 4

    Plusieurs études montrent que les préoccupations d’image sociale stimulent les comportements prosociaux. Nous étudions un contexte dans lequel il existe une incertitude sur l’action qui est prosociale. La quête d’une meilleure image sociale entre alors potentiellement en conflit avec le comportement prosocial. Ce conflit peut induire un « mauvais » comportement, où les individus réduisent leurs gains monétaires et ceux des autres afin de préserve…

  • Mise en place d’une expérience avec le grand public: Entre recherche, vulgarisation et pédagogie

    Youenn Lohéac, Hayyan Alia et al.ARTICLERevue économique2017References: 3

    Nous présentons la mise en place d’une expérience lors d’un événement grand public national, de manière simultanée dans onze villes françaises, en septembre 2015. L’expérience a impliqué plus de 2 700 participants et a duré quatre heures ininterrompues. L’objectif de cet article est à la fois de fournir une feuille de route pour une éventuelle réplication et de penser à la manière dont la discipline peut être utilisée dans des terrains nouveaux (…

  • Trust under the Prospect Theory and Quasi-Hyperbolic Preferences: A Field Experiment in Vietnam

    Q K Nguyen, Quang Nguyen et al.ARTICLEEconomic Development and Cultural…2016References: 60

    We conduct a field experiment in Vietnamese villages to explore the effect of the prospect theory and of quasi-hyperbolic time preferences parameters on trust and trustworthiness. We find that risk aversion, loss aversion, and present bias do not influence trustors’ decisions, but higher time discounting increases the amount sent to trustees in the south of Vietnam and probability weighting decreases it in the north. If time discounting and loss …

  • The Dark Side of Competition for Status

    Open AccessGary Charne, Gary Charness et al.ARTICLEManagement Science2014

    Unethical behavior within organizations is not rare. We investigate experimentally the role of status-seeking behavior in sabotage and cheating activities aiming at improving one's performance ranking in a flat-wage environment. We find that average effort is higher when individuals are informed about their relative performance. However, ranking feedback also favors disreputable behavior. Some individuals do not hesitate to incur a cost to improv…

  • Contribution aux biens publics et préférences sociales: Apports récents de l'économie comportementale

    Marie Claire VillevalARTICLERevue économique2012Cited by: 1References: 10

    Comprendre comment la coopération émerge entre individus non apparentés offre une clé de compréhension de l’évolution des sociétés. L’analyse du rôle de l’hétérogénéité des préférences sociales dans la décision de contribution aux biens publics révèle que la coopération conditionnelle explique le déclin des contributions au cours du temps. Les règles morales peuvent cependant contrecarrer ce processus. Les comportements de sanction altruistes con…

  • Effort and Comparison Income: Experimental and Survey Evidence

    Open AccessAndrew E Clark, David Masclet et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2010Cited by: 7References: 31

    The authors test the hypothesis that individual effort on the job depends both on one's own income and on the individual's position in the relevant income distribution. Combining experimental evidence from a gift-exchange game with multi-country ISSP survey data, they analyze the extent to which relative income affects an individual's effort, finding that an individual's rank in the income distribution more strongly determines effort than does ot…

    Andrew E Clark, David Masclet et al.ARTICLERevue économique2006

    Cet article relate les résultats d’une expérience portant sur l’effet des comparaisons de salaire sur les décisions d’effort. Les individus comparent leur salaire avec ceux des membres de leur groupe de référence et cela affecte leurs décisions. À salaire égal, les individus situés à un rang plus faible dans la hiérarchie des salaires fournissent significativement moins d’effort que les autres. Ils comparent également leur propre situation salari…
