An Experimental Study of a Sequential Dictator Game With Social Interaction by Gunter Bahr and Till Requate
1. Experimental Design - Basic Setup Sequential Dictator Game: • 3 Candidates: A, B and C • Resource П = 30 Euro • Take Arbitrary Share: ε [0,1]; ε [0,1]
1. Experimental Design – Treatments • Treatment 1 (Benchmark): Anonymity • (Treatment 2 and 3: Social Interaction) • Treatment 4: A Either Subject or Random Process • B and C Do Not Know If Dice or A Decided on First Share
1. Experimental Design – Hypothesises • H1: Results of Trad. Dictator Game Differ From Results Sequential Dictator Game • H2: It Matters for B If in Treatment 1 or 4 • H3: A‘s Decision Affects B‘s Decision
2. Results A: Traditional vs Sequential Dictator Game • Treatment 1 vs Data by Forsythe et al, 1994 (Average Share Taken 0.66 vs 0.77) • P-Value Mann-Whitney: 0.007 • Accept H1: Dictator Game Results Differ From Sequential Dictator
2. Results A: Human vs Random • Treatment 1 (A: Subject) vs Treatment 4 (A: Subject or Random Process) (Average Share Taken 0.67 vs 0.70) • P-Value Mann-Whitney: 0.765
4. Results B: Testing for Treatment Differences Problem: Share A Could Affect B‘s Decision
4. B Results • H2: Accepted: It Does Matter for B If He/She Were in Treatment 1 or 4 • Within Treatment 4: No Differences If A Allocated Or Random Process
4. B: Regression Analysis Final Regression
4. B: Regression Analysis – Results OLS • H3: Accepted: Reciprocity between B‘s and A‘s Decision
