Citations in the corpus

• A comprehensive comparison of students and non-students in classic experimental games (2015, background): “A comparison of contributions of students and community members in a charitable donation version of the Dictator Game found that students were much less generous (Carpenter et al., 2008).”
• Government Support and Charitable Donations: A Meta-Analysis of the Crowding-out Hypothesis (2016, unknown): “Carpenter, Connolly, and Myers (2008) show that students, especially males, give considerably lower amounts in experiments than a sample drawn from a broader population, but other studies showed that students and non-students do not differ in their level of giving in a dictator game with charities…”
• Do fairness and race matter in generosity? Evidence from a nationally representative charity experiment (2011, background): “Subjects in $100 dictator games, where payoffs were implemented with probability 0.1 and the recipients were charities of the dictators' choosing, gave 68% of the pie on average (Carpenter et al., 2008).”
• Other Regarding Preferences: A Selective Survey of Experimental Results (2012, background): “72 See Bellemare and Kroger (2007), Carpenter et al. (2008), Fehr and List (2004), Hoffman and Morgan (2010), and Burks et al. (2009a).”
• Self-selection and variations in the laboratory measurement of other-regarding preferences across subject pools: evidence from one college student and two adult samples (2013, methodology): “In the context of bargaining games, Carpenter et al. (2005) study student and non-student (warehouse worker) samples in the US using ultimatum game and dictator games.”
• Mixed feelings: Theories of and evidence on giving (2010, background): “For example, Carpenter, Connolly and Myers (2008) find significant differences between students and non-students in their choices both of which charities to support and how much to give.”
