Replication Data for: A note on testing guilt aversion
收藏资源简介:
We compare three approaches to test for guilt aversion in two economic experiments. The first approach elicits second-order beliefs using self-reports. The second approach discloses first-order beliefs of matched players to decision makers, which are taken as exogenous second-order beliefs of decision makers. The third approach lets decision makers make choices conditional on a sequence of possible first-order beliefs of matched players. We find that the first and third approach generate similar results, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The second approach, however, generates significantly higher levels of `kindness' for low levels of beliefs: at a second-order belief of zero, the probability of choosing the `kind' action is between 43 and 65 percentage points higher than with the other approaches.
