House money effects in public good experiments: Comment (2007, methodology): “ Clark (2002) reports the average contributions in each round under each treatment, as shown in Fig. 1. Despite some differences, the averages look quite close.”
Is Cheap Talk Effective at Eliminating Hypothetical Bias in a Provision Point Mechanism? (2005, unknown): “This is consistent with both Clark (2002) and List (2004) who found no evidence of found money effects in public goods experiments.”
An experimental examination of the house money effect in a multi-period setting (2006, background): “However, in public good experiments, Clark (2002) reports no evidence of house money effects on peoples’ choices of voluntary contributions.”
Monetary incentives in the loss domain and behavior toward risk: An experimental comparison of three reward schemes including real losses (2011, background): “Several studies actually support the house money effect (Arkes and Blumer 1985; Garling and Romanus 1997; Keasey and Moon 1996; Romanus et al. 1996; Thaler and Johnson 1990; Weber and Zuchel 2001; see however Clark 2002 for somewhat contradictory results, and Harrison 2007 for a critical discussio”
The pleasure of being nasty (2009, background): “Note that because subjects had to work for their endowments, we also avoid the house-money effect (for an overview with mixed evidence see Clark (2002)).”
Food Labeling and Eco-Friendly Consumption: Experimental Evidence From a Belgian Supermarket (2014, background): “The upward bias can be a result from a house money effect where the provision of an 407 initial endowment can cause experimental subjects to make unusual choices (Clark, 2002).”
The Impact of Endowment Heterogeneity and Origin on Public Good Contributions: Evidence From the Lab (2005, background): “Some researchers find evidence that the origin of assets does not influence subject behavior in laboratory settings (e.g., Clark, 1998, 2002; Rutstr ¨ om and Williams, 2000; Ball et al., 2001).”
