Sharing the pie: the Lutheran is neither opportunistic nor generous

Matteo Migheli (matteo.migheli@unito.it)

POLIS Working Papers from Institute of Public Policy and Public Choice - POLIS

Abstract: This paper studies how individual religiosity affects people's behaviour. In particular here I study the behaviour of the second players in a standard trust game. They have the possibility of sharing some resources between themselves and their game mates. It results that more religious people tend to choose an even allocation of these resources, whilst the less religious participants are either opportunistic or generous.

Keywords: religiosity; distribution of resources; inequity aversion (search for similar items in EconPapers)
