dc.description.abstract | This paper studies how individual behavior is affected by moral reflection
in a dictator game with production, and the informational value
of self-reported data on fairness. We find that making individuals reflect on fairness before they play the dictator game has a moderate effect on
the weight attached to fairness in distributive choices, and a strong effect on what people consider fair. Furthermore, we find that self-reported
data have substantial informational value, but still do not add explanatory
power to a random utility model estimated on purely behavioral data. Finally, by studying the behavior of individuals who deviate from their self-reported fairness ideal, we do not find much support for the hypothesis
that people are self-serving in their choice of fairness ideal. | en |
