Popis: | This project was conducted while Ernesto Mesa-Vázquez was visiting Universidad Loyola Andalucia. He wants to particularly thank Pablo Brañas-Garza and Diego Jorrat for continued guidance and assessment with the experimental design. Álvaro Núñez-Bermúdez and the faculty members of the Economics and Business Sciences department at the University of Seville were very helpful in providing assistance for running the experiment. The paper has benefited from comments and suggestions provided by Maria Paz Espinosa, Giuseppe Attanassi, José Enrique Vila, Iván Arribas, Marco Faillo, Cristina Borra and participants at the Loyola Behavioral Lab and the Early Career Researchers in Experimental Economics Workshop (ECREEW) organized by the Red Española de Economía Experimental y del Comportamiento. Members of the ESA community were very helpful pointing out to relevant papers to our research. Special thanks to Daniel Müller, Michael Kurschilgen, Sabine Erika Kröger, Daniel Zizzo, Praveen Kujal, Paul J. Halevy, Michal Krawczyk and Matthias Greiff for their references and stimulating discussion. Finally, we acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economics and Competition under the project ECO2016- 75575-R (A. Urbano) and the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities under projects PID2019-110790RB-I00 (A. Urbano) and PGC2018-097875-A-I00 (Ismael Rodriguez-Lara); and the Generalitat Valenciana, Spain under the Excellence Program Prometeo 2019/095 (A. Urbano).

We show that generosity is affected when we vary the level of role uncertainty, i.e., the probability that the dictator’s decision will be implemented. We also show that framing matters for generosity in that subjects are less generous when they are told that their choices will be implemented with a certain probability, compared with a setting in which they are told that their choices will not be implemented with certain probability Spanish Government ECO2016-75575-R Spanish Ministry of Economics and Competition PID2019-110790RB-I00 PGC2018-097875-A-I00 Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities Generalitat Valenciana 2019/095 Universidad de Granada/CBUA |
