Abstract

This study investigates how reciprocity works in a simple trust game when the subjects are framed as either lucky or unlucky. We induce luckiness perception to the second mover by introducing uncertainty with a different combination of possible multipliers, allowing us to observe the effect of outcome bias on trustworthiness while controlling for the wealth effect. We do not find a significantly different level of trustworthiness between lucky second movers and unlucky second movers. The result suggests the null effect of outcome bias on reciprocal behaviour.

幸运的人会有更多回报吗？结果偏差对可信度的影响

本研究探讨了在一个简单的信任博弈中，当被试被设定为幸运或不幸时，互惠是如何发挥作用的。我们通过不同的可能乘数组合引入不确定性，诱导第二推动者产生幸运感知，从而在控制财富效应的同时，观察结果偏差对信任度的影响。我们没有发现幸运的第二推动者和不幸运的第二推动者之间存在明显的信任度差异。结果表明，结果偏差对互惠行为的影响为零。JEL 分类：C91、D01、D63、D91

期刊介绍： Studies in Microeconomics seeks high quality theoretical as well as applied (or empirical) research in all areas of microeconomics (broadly defined to include other avenues of decision science such as psychology, political science and organizational behavior). In particular, we encourage submissions in new areas of Microeconomics such as in the fields of Experimental economics and Behavioral Economics. All manuscripts will be subjected to a peer-review process. The intended audience of the journal are professional economists and young researchers with an interest and expertise in microeconomics and above. In addition to full-length articles MIC is interested in publishing and promoting shorter refereed articles (letters and notes) that are pertinent to the specialist in the field of Microeconomics (broadly defined). MIC will periodically publish special issues with themes of particular interest, including articles solicited from leading scholars as well as authoritative survey articles and meta-analysis on the themed topic. We will also publish book reviews related to microeconomics, and MIC encourages publishing articles from policy practitioners dealing with microeconomic issues that have policy relevance under the section Policy Analysis and Debate.
