Cooperation and Discrimination within and Across Language Borders: Evidence from Children in a Bilingual City (2016, unknown): “Our paper is related to an increasing literature on the development of cooperative behavior in childhood and adolescence (see, for instance, Fan, 2000; Harbaugh and Krause, 2000; Peters et al., 2004; Sally and Hill, 2006; Alencar, 2008; Cardenas et al., 2014; Lergetporer et al., 2014).”
The 1/d Law of Giving (2010, background): “In important studies with children ranging in age between 7 and 18, Harbaugh and Krause (2000) show that students who have been at the same school longer give more to classemates and Harbaugh, Krause and Liday (2003) find that older children make larger offers in dictator and ultimatum games.”
Linear Public Goods Experiments: A Meta-Analysis (2003, unknown): “Goeree, Holt, and Laury 1999/20026 17 2‐4 0.2‐0.8 Harbaugh and Krause 2000 10 6 0.33‐0.67”
Belief Systems and Durable Inequalities: An Experimental Investigation of Indian Caste (2004, unknown): “10See, e.g., Murningham and Saxon (1998) and Harbaugh and Krause (2000).”
The ontogeny of human prosociality: behavioral experiments with children aged 3 to 8 (2012, background): “…age effects have been found in anonymous Dictator Games (Harbaugh et al., 2003; Benenson et al., 2007; Gummerum et al., 2009), although not all studies find significant effects of age on allocation decisions (Harbaugh & Krause, 2000; Takezawa et al., 2006; Gummerum, Keller, Takezawa, & Mata, 2008).”
Peer Influence on Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence (2016, methodology): “In both feedback conditions, the patterns of prosocial behavior imply that adolescents first learned the social norms from the spectator group of peers and consequently incorporated those norms in their decision-making (Berger, 2008; Harbaugh & Krause, 2000).”
“Economic man” in cross-cultural perspective: Behavioral experiments in 15 small-scale societies (2005, background): “…adults in the U.S. showing that preferences related to altruism, conditional cooperation and equity are acquired slowly over the first two decades of life (second graders are pretty selfish), and subsequently change little after this (Harbaugh & Krause, 2000; Harbaugh et al., 2002; Henrich, 2003).”
Concerns about reputation via gossip promote generous allocations in an economic game (2008, unknown): “…exchange among adults (e.g., Bohnet & Frey, 1999; Eckel & Grossman, 1996; Forsythe et al., 1994; Hoffman, McCabe, Shachat, & Smith, 1994; Hoffman, McCabe, & Smith, 1996; Kahneman, Knetsch, & Thaler, 1986; Rankin, 2006) as well as children (Beneson, Pascoe, & Radmore, 2007; Harbaugh & Krause, 2000).”
Economic behavior of children and adolescents – A first survey of experimental economics results (2019, background): “Their early work has set examples of how to run experiments with children and adolescents and which topics can be studied with young experimental subjects, covering, among others, risk taking, social preferences, rationality of choices, or bargaining (Harbaugh and Krause, 2000; Harbaugh et al., 2001”
Trust in Children (2002, background): “Despite its one-shot nature this game can be seen as measuring trust and trustworthiness because Player 1 in passing control to Player 2 entrusts Player 2 to determine her final endowment.”
Trust and trustworthiness across different age groups (2007, background): “To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to run a controlled laboratory experiment with subjects from such diverse age particular their papers on children's altruism (Harbaugh and Krause, 2000) and on lottery choices (Harbaugh et al., 2002) to the results of our paper.”
