Abstract: | Over the last 25 years, more than a hundred dictator game experiments have been published. This meta study summarises the
evidence. Exploiting the fact that most experiments had to fix parameters they did not intend to test, in multiple regression
the meta study is able to assess the effect of single manipulations, controlling for a host of alternative explanatory factors.
The resulting rich dataset also provides a testbed for comparing alternative specifications of the statistical model for analysing
dictator game data. It shows how Tobit models (assuming that dictators would even want to take money) and hurdle models (assuming
that the decision to give a positive amount is separate from the choice of amount, conditional on giving) provide additional
insights. |
