“…However, Cadsby and Maynes (1998) compared the behavior of business and economics students to nurses in a provision point public good game, and found nurses to be more cooperative: While cooperation among the business and economics students quickly collapsed, nurses started out with higher contributions, were willing to continue contributing even after rounds where the threshold was not reached, and generally tended to move around the cooperative equilibrium.…”

“…Numerous studies have concluded that future economists are not as eager to take part in collective actions as the students of other social sciences, humanities, law or nursing (Marwell, Ames, 1981;Frank et al, 1993;Seguino et al, 1996;Cadsby, Maynes, 1998;James et al, 2001). This reluctance is explained by two main hypotheses: the preselection hypothesis and the indoctrination hypothesis.…”

“…1 Faravelli (2007) also compared economists and sociologists. Many other researchers have compared economists with the students of other disciplines (Marwell, Ames, 1981;Kahneman et al, 1986;Carter, Irons, 1991;Frank et al, 1993;Seguino et al, 1996;Cadsby, Maynes, 1998;James et al, 2001;Cipriani et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2011;Haucap, Müller, 2014;Goossens, Méon, 2015). The focus of most of the previous studies has been to test the preselection hypothesis and/or indoctrination hypothesis.…”

ABSTRACT. The impact of university education on the learners' attitudes remains uncertain. Nevertheless, the Economics students' unwillingness to cooperate is frequently attributed to the content of economic courses, and the theories of profit maximization. This article contributes to the discussion on students' attitudes towards cooperation based on the survey of 341 Polish and Romanian students. Since these countries differ in terms of collectivism/individualism dimension, we focus on tracing the influence of cultures on cooperativeness. Specifically, we investigate three variables. First, the impact of culture on the willingness to cooperate, secondly, the influence of gender on collaboration, and finally, the differences in attitudes among the students of Sociology and Economics. We find significant differences between Polish and Romanian students' attitudes towards cooperation, we also observe higher level cooperation among females than males. We detect a drop in cooperation from the first year to the subsequent years of undergraduate studies in Economics.

“…They report that a history of castebased prejudice implies that Scheduled Caste (SC) participants are not confident that they will be paid by high-caste experimenters, leading to reduced effort. Cadsby and Maynes (1998) and Ball and Cech (1996) show that the choice of subject pool affects the outcomes of policy-oriented experiments. These results motivate our decision to use participants who are enrolled in Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)…”

We address the challenge of designing performance-based incentive schemes for schoolteachers. When teachers specialize in different subjects in the presence of social prejudice, performance based pay which depends on the average of student performance can cause teachers to coordinate their effort in high status students and away from low status students. Laboratory experiments conducted in India with future teachers as subjects show that performance-based pay causes teachers to decrease effort in low caste Hindu students compared to upper caste Hindu or Muslim students. We observe greater effort and lower intra-class variation when teachers are penalized if students receive zero scores.
