Giving Versus Giving In (2014, background): “Several recent economic experiments have stripped away the freeriding element to study the unique effects of diffusion (see Bartling & Fischbacher, 2012; Coffman, 2011; Dana, Loewenstein, & Weber, 2012; Dana et al., 2007; Hamman, Loewenstein, & Weber, 2010).”
Looking for Someone to Blame: Delegation, Cognitive Dissonance, and the Disposition Effect (2014, unknown): “See also, for example, Coffman (2011), Fershtman and Gneezy (2001), and Paharia et al.”

The Control Premium: A Preference for Payoff Autonomy † (2014, background): “While Fehr et al. (2010) and Herz et al.
