Abstract

We experimentally investigated the effects of the possibility of taking in the dictator game and the choices of passive players between the dictator game and the taking game on the distribution decisions of active players. Our main findings support our hypothesis: when the dictator game is not exogenously given but chosen by the receivers (or passive players), this makes them accountable, which leads to less giving by dictators. We also conducted an online survey to gain further insights about our experimental results. Survey participants predicted most of the observed behavior in the experiment and explained the factors that might have driven the predicted behavior using reasoning similar to ours. Our results provide a new perspective for the dependence of giving in the dictator game on contextual factors.

分配博弈中的内生博弈选择与给予行为
我们通过实验研究了独裁者游戏中接管的可能性以及被动玩家在独裁者游戏和接管游戏之间的选择对主动玩家分配决策的影响。我们的主要发现支持了我们的假设:当独裁者游戏不是外源性的,而是由接受者(或被动玩家)选择时,这会让他们承担责任,从而导致独裁者的付出减少。我们还进行了一项在线调查,以进一步了解我们的实验结果。调查参与者预测了实验中观察到的大多数行为,并使用与我们类似的推理解释了可能驱动预测行为的因素。我们的结果为独裁者游戏中给予对情境因素的依赖提供了一个新的视角。
