Communicating the move to individualized donor selection policy: Framing messages focused on recipients and safety (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) have been deferred from donating blood. However, recent evidence supports the adoption of donor screening based on individuals' sexual behavior over population-based criteria. We explore how best to frame c...

Collective management of an environmental threat when exposure is heterogeneous: A complementary methods approach (2020)
Journal Article

We adopt a complementary methods approach to investigate whether and how heterogeneity in individual returns to a public good affects public good provision. We engage smallholder farmers in Sri Lanka in: a one-shot, framed, lab-in-the-field experimen...

Risk taking and sharing when risk exposure is interdependent (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Using a specially designed experiment, we investigate whether and how interdependence in risk exposure, i.e., risk taking by some members of a potential risk sharing group affecting not only their own but also their co-members' r...

The effect of education, income inequality and merit on inequality acceptance (2020)
Journal Article

A large number of observational and experimental studies have explored the determinants of individual preferences for redistribution. In general, inequalities are more likely to be accepted by people of higher socioeconomic status, in richer societie...

Cooperation in polygynous households (2019)
Journal Article

Using a carefully designed series of public goods games, we compare, across monogamous and polygynous households, the willingness of husbands and wives to cooperate to maximize household gains. Compared to monogamous husbands and wives, polygynous hu... Read More about Cooperation in polygynous households.

On the social inappropriateness of discrimination (2018)
Journal Article

We experimentally investigate the relationship between discriminatory behaviour and the perceived social inappropriateness of discrimination. We conjecture that discrimination will be weaker when social norms oppose it. Our results support this predi... Read More about On the social inappropriateness of discrimination.

Commitment to political ideology is a luxury only students can afford: a distributive justice experiment (2018)
Journal Article

Using a political-frame-free, lab-in-the-field experiment, we investigate the associations between employment status, self-reported political ideology, and preferences for redistribution. The experiment consists of a real-effort task, followed by a f... Read More about Commitment to political ideology is a luxury only students can afford: a distributive justice experiment.

Complicity without connection or communication (2017)
Journal Article

We use a novel laboratory experiment involving a die rolling task embedded within a coordination game to investigate whether complicity can emerge when decision-making is simultaneous, the potential accomplices are strangers and neither communication...

Moral consequences of becoming unemployed (2016)
Journal Article

We test the conjecture that becoming unemployed erodes the extent to which a person acknowledges earned entitlement. We use behavioral experiments to generate incentive compatible measures of individuals’ tendencies to acknowledge earned entitlement... Read More about Moral consequences of becoming unemployed.

Economic status and acknowledgement of earned entitlement (2015)
Journal Article

We present a series of experiments that investigates whether tendencies to acknowledge entitlement owing to effort and productivity are associated with within society economic status. Each participant played a four-person dictator game under one of t... Read More about Economic status and acknowledgement of earned entitlement.

The formation of community-based organizations: an analysis of a quasi-experiment in Zimbabwe (2014)
Journal Article

Previous analyses of the formation and composition of community-based organizations (CBOs) have used cross section data. So, causal inference has been compromised. We obviate this problem by using data from a quasi-experiment in which villages were f...

Participatory accountability and collective action: experimental evidence from Albania (2014)
Journal Article

It has been argued that accountability is a public good that only citizens can provide. Governments can put institutions in place that allow citizens to hold public servants to account, but citizens must participate in those institutions if accountab...
