Economic incentives and social preferences: substitutes or complements? (2012, background): “First, evidence from both the behavioral experimental laboratory and the field is consistent with the view that social preferences are important influences on economic behavior (Fehr, Gächter, and Kirchsteiger 1997; Bewley 1999; Fehr and Schmidt 1999; Fehr and Gächter 2000; Young and Burke 2001; Ban”
