Do Social Preferences Increase Productivity? Field Experimental Evidence from Fishermen in Toyama Bay (2011, unknown): “…et al. (2001) extend the earlier experiments to 15 different cultures; Carpenter, Burks, and Verhoogen (2005) show important differences exist between blue collar workers and students in distribution experiments; and List (2004) finds similar differences using the voluntary contribution mechanism.”
Gender-specific starting point bias in choice experiments: Evidence from an empirical study (2008, unknown): “For example, authors of [7,28,40, 50 ,77] find that women are generally more environmentally and socially concerned than men.”
Beauty, gender and stereotypes : Evidence from laboratory experiments (2008, result): “While most experimental work on altruism in groups suggests that men are less generous than women (Dufwenberg & Muren, 2006; List, 2004 ), our results are consistent with returns to competitiveness in the labor market.”
Economic incentives and social preferences: substitutes or complements? (2012, background): “The available evidence suggests that students volunteering for experiments are not more pro-social in their orientations than other students (Falk, Meier, and Zehnder (2011)); nor are student subjects more pro-social than non-students, indeed the reverse seems to be the case.”
The limits of self-governance when cooperators get punished: Experimental evidence from urban and rural Russia (2011, methodology): “List (2004), Sutter (2007), and Sutter and Kocher (2007) find a relationship between age and social preferences. Putnam (2000) and Glaeser et al. (2002) argue for the relevance of memberships in civic organizations.”
Field experiments in labor economics (2010, methodology): “By designing allocation, bargaining, and auction experiments, List (2004d) is able to construct an experiment wherein the various theories provide opposing predictions.”
Conformity and the Demand for Environmental Goods (2010, background): “some evidence that women are more socially oriented and less selfish ( List, 2004; Andreoni”
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, background): “For example, three studies (Bellemare and Kroger 2007; Falk et al. forthcoming 2012; Fehr and List 2004) compare student and non-student samples in trust game experiments.”
Honestly, why are you driving a BMW? (2006, background): “with List (2003) who in a number of field experiments found that the strength of”
Field Experiments in Economics: the Past, the Present, and the Future (2008, unknown): “Moving closer to how naturally - occurring data are generated , Harrison and List ( 2004 ) denote a ' ' framed field experiment ' ' as the same as an artefactual field experiment , except that it incorporates important elements of the context of the naturally - occurring environment with respect to…”
Private Provision of Environmental Public Goods: Household Participation in Green-Electricity Programs (2007, background): “In the truncated regression model, only household income is a statistically significant explanatory variable, which continues to imply that contributions increase with income.22 The particular results for gender are consistent with findings by List [ 22 ] in a study of voluntary”
A field study on cooperativeness and impatience in the Tragedy of the Commons (2011, background): “Only a few studies combine laboratory experiments with field observations for a better understanding of cooperation behavior in the field (Karlan, 2005; Carpenter and Seki, forthcoming; List, 2004a, 2004b, 2006; Laury and Taylor, 08; Benz and Meier, 2008).”
