Specific egalitarianism? Inequality aversion across domains
The Journal of Economic InequalityAbstract An individual’s inequality aversion (IA) is a central preference parameter that captures the welfare sacrifice from exposure to inequality. However, it is far from trivial how best to elicit IA estimates. Also, little is known about the behavioural determinants of IA and how they differ across domains such as income and health. Using

Inequity Aversion and Individual Behavior in Public Good Games: An Experimental Investigation [PDF]
We present a simple two-steps procedure for a within-subject test of the inequity aversion model of Fehr and Schmidt (1999). In the first step, subjects played modified ultimatum and dictator games and were classified according to their preferences.

The Role of Framing, Inequity and History in a Corruption Game: Some Experimental Evidence
Games, 2016 We investigate the role of framing, inequity in initial endowments and history in shaping behavior in a corrupt transaction by extending the one-shot bribery game introduced by Cameron et al. (2009) to a repeated game setting.

Reciprocity, Inequity Aversion, and Oligopolistic Competition [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006 This paper studies how reciprocity and inequity aversion influence the behavior of firms in imperfectly competitive markets. The paper shows that if reciprocal firms compete a la Cournot, then they are able to sustain "collusive" outcomes under a positive reciprocity equilibrium.

It offers a blueprint for community regeneration using a ‘pathways to progression’ education model.

Making Sense of the Experimental Evidence on Endogenous Timing in Duopoly Markets [PDF]
The prediction of asymmetric equilibria with Stackelberg outcomes is clearly the most frequent result in the endogenous timing literature. Several experiments have tried to validate this prediction empirically, but failed to find support for it.

Behavioral responses to inequity in reward distribution and working effort in crows and ravens.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sensitivity to inequity is considered to be a crucial cognitive tool in the evolution of human cooperation. The ability has recently been shown also in primates and dogs, raising the question of an evolutionary basis of inequity aversion.

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Scholars have tended to interpret Thomas Nettleton's bestselling Virtue and Happiness (1729) as an Epicurean work. In contrast, I argue that this book was constructed partly from extensive paraphrases of the writings of Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson.
