We compare behavior in modified dictator games with and without role uncertainty. Subjects choose between a selfish action,
a costly surplus creating action (altruistic behavior) and a costly surplus destroying action (spiteful behavior). While costly
surplus creating actions are the most frequent under role uncertainty (64%), selfish actions become the most frequent without
role uncertainty (69%). Also, the frequency of surplus destroying choices is negligible with role uncertainty (1%) but not
so without it (11%). A classification of subjects into four different types of interdependent preferences (Selfish, Social
Welfare maximizing, Inequity Averse and Competitive) shows that the use of role uncertainty overestimates the prevalence of
Social Welfare maximizing preferences in the subject population (from 74% with role uncertainty to 21% without it) and underestimates
Selfish and Inequity Averse preferences. An additional treatment, in which subjects undertake an understanding test before
participating in the experiment with role uncertainty, shows that the vast majority of subjects (93%) correctly understand
the payoff mechanism with role uncertainty, but yet surplus creating actions were most frequent. Our results warn against
the use of role uncertainty in experiments that aim to measure the prevalence of interdependent preferences. 相似文献

We study the effect of providing relative performance feedback information on performance, when individuals are rewarded according to their absolute performance. A natural experiment that took place in a high school offers an unusual opportunity to test this effect in a real-effort setting. For one year only, students received information that allowed them to know whether they were performing above (below) the class average as well as the distance from this average. We exploit a rich panel dataset and find that the provision of this information led to an increase of 5% in students' grades. Moreover, the effect was significant for the whole distribution. However, once the information was removed, the effect disappeared. To rule out the concern that the effect may be artificially driven by teachers within the school, we verify our results using national level exams (externally graded) for the same students, and the effect remains. 相似文献

The Provision of Relative Performance Feedback: An Analysis of Performance and Satisfaction 下载免费PDF全文
This paper studies the effect of providing relative performance feedback on individuals’ performance, under two incentive schemes. In a laboratory setup, agents perform a real‐effort task. We show that relative performance feedback increases performance when performance is related to pay (piece‐rate) but has no effect on performance when pay is independent of performance (flat‐rate). These effects are independent of the agent's relative position. Subjects are also asked to rate their satisfaction during the experiment. We find that under flat‐rate, feedback has no effect on agents’ satisfaction, while under piece‐rate, feedback about relative position affects satisfaction. 相似文献
