Do we lie in groups? An experimental evidence

Applied Economics Letters, 2017, vol. 24, issue 15, 1107-1111

Abstract: We study whether there is a difference between individual and group unethical behaviour in an experimental study among adolescents. We find that on average, groups cheat more than individuals, but there are important differences across age. Younger groups cheat more than younger individuals but there is no difference between older individuals and groups. The way in which groups are formed and friendship ties among group members do not seem to matter.
