Field experiments across the social sciences (2017, background): “…by the use of BGs to study differences within a society.12 Some examples of this kind of work come from development economics, where BGs have been used to study how social preferences and norms affect cooperation at the individual and community levels (see Cardenas & Carpenter 2008 for a review).”
Does Africa Need a Rotten Kin Theorem? Experimental Evidence from Village Economies (2012, background): “Cardenas and Carpenter (2008) review experiments measuring risk preferences of in developing countries; a key conclusion is that different studies (using different designs in different populations) lead to divergent estimates of risk aversion.”
Measuring risk attitudes among Mozambican farmers (2014, background): “When economists attempt to measure risk preferences, they typically assume that risk preferences follow the constant relative risk assumption (CRRA) utility function (see Cardenas and Carpenter (2008) or Hurley (2010) for recent reviews of the literature).”
The challenge of understanding decisions in experimental studies of common pool resource governance (2011, background): “The pedagogical effects of field experiments have only been partially explored (Cardenas and Carpenter, 2008; Cardenas, 2009; Lopez, 2010).”
Preferences for Truth‐Telling (2016, background): “Positive reciprocity is often measured by the behavior of second-mover subjects in trust games who forgo on average 38c out of each $1 (Johnson and Mislin 2011; Cardenas and Carpenter 2008).”
Time to Change What to Sow: Risk Preferences and Technology Adoption Decisions of Cotton Farmers in China (2013, background): “See the survey by Cardenas and Carpenter (2008) for further discussion.”
Trust, Risk, and Time Preferences After a Natural Disaster: Experimental Evidence from Thailand (2017, background): “These characteristics may be even more important when markets fail and property rights are poorly defined (Cardenas & Carpenter, 2008; Knack & Keefer, 1997).”
