Social influences on risk attitudes: Applications in economics (2012, background): “Bellemare et al. (2008) show that proposers perceive the situation as a risky decision problem, and make proposals according to their beliefs about the probability of a rejection by the responder for each potential proposal of shares.”
Tribal Social Instincts and the Cultural Evolution of Institutions to Solve Collective Action Problems (2012, neutral): “There are now plausible theoretical answers to the above questions, and in some cases there is an overabundance of plausible answers.”
Inequity aversion improves cooperation in intertemporal social dilemmas (2018, result): “There is some empirical support for this prediction [50], though the evidence is mixed [51, 52].”
Progressive taxation and tax morale (2011, neutral): “Bellemare et al. (2008) use a large, representative sample of the Dutch population and find that on average the population seems to be even more averse towards both advantageous and disadvantageous inequality than is assumed by Fehr and Schmidt (1999). Those results—providing evidence that α and β s”

Belief Elicitation: A Horse Race Among Truth Serums (2015, neutral): “Although positive offers in the ultimatum game can be interpreted in terms of social preferences (Fehr and Schmidt 2003), they can also derive from expected payoff maximization if the proposer believes that low offers are rejected (Manski 2004, Bellemare et al. 2008).”
