The Gospel And Economic Behaviour: Experimental Evidence From A Trust Game

Author

Listed:
  • Matteo MIGHELI

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. While the extant literature has looked for religiosity to increase the stakes passed by the subjects, the results presented here show that more religious people tend to choose an even allocation of these resources, whilst the less religious participants are either opportunistic or generous.
