ECIN Replication Package for "Social distance and delegation: does anonymity matter?"

In this
paper, we report on two experimental studies that examine the impact of social
distance on delegation and uncover the role of anonymity driving delegation in
a principal-agent setting. Study 1 shows that reducing the social distance
makes principals less likely to delegate. Study 2 offers evidence that the
likelihood of delegation is not affected by whether the principal is informed
that the recipients will not find out whether the principal is their friend or
a stranger. Our findings have implications for the underlying sources of
pro-sociality in organisational settings where managers make their decisions
through hiring external agents.
