The sound of silence in prisoner's dilemma and dictator games

Article Abstract:

Communication allows the transfer of more information, leading to the spread of the distribution of choices other than the social norms. However, it is not always needed in contributing to public goods. While mutual identification contributes to an individual's tendency to follow the social norms, the absence of dialogue or one-way identification can also give the same effect. Silent identification contributes to solidarity, whose increase, in turn, contributes to the decrease of social distance. The decrease in social distance implies the need for interaction-specific solutions to social problems.

Rent leaving

Article Abstract:

Rent leaving refers to lack of investment in activities that could increase an individual's income but which would damage society. This covers all types of behavior where the well-being of others is taken into account as well as a desire to increase one's own income, and includes donations to charity. People are more willing to leave rents where there is personal communication and self-determination. Institutions can help promote rent leaving through environmental ethics, voluntary compliance with tax regulations and work moral.

Institutions affect fairness: experimental investigation

Article Abstract:

Fairness in human interaction is affected by a number of issues as is shown by behavior of subjects involved in games such as prisoner's dilemma. These factors include property rights and the customs these involve, the extent to which players can interact with each other, or remain anonymouse, and the ability of players to have an impact on the result of the game. This research indicates that institutional factors affect the extent to which people are encouraged to behave in a fair manner.
