Mixed feelings: Theories of and evidence on giving (2010, background): “…incomplete crowding out even after taking into account possible subject confusion (1995), Palfrey and Prisbey (1996, 1997) find little or no pure altruism but significant evidence of warm glow and subject error, whereas Goeree, Holt and Laury (2002) report warm glow, error and (pure) altruism.”

(2008, unknown): “Half of the 128 subjects completed the same 10 decisions as those reported in Goeree et al. (2002a). In these sessions group size was either 2 or 4, a token kept earned 5-cents, and a token contributed earned either 2-cents or 4-cents to the person contributing it, and the external return to each ot”
