Abstract

Experimental research on generosity has focused predominantly on behavior in the monetary domain, although many real-life decisions occur in the non-monetary domain. Investigating generosity preferences in the non-monetary domain is important for understanding a large class of situations ranging from effort provision at work to reducing individual CO2 emissions. This paper shows generosity differs between the monetary and non-monetary domains and that different social norms of allocation can predict greater levels of generosity in the non-monetary compared to the monetary domain.
