“…Cobo‐Reyes et al. (2020) and Fehr et al. (2008, 2013), for example, studied egalitarian behavior in children by applying three different versions of a binary dictator game with two players: a pro‐social game, an envy game, and a sharing game.…”

“…(2020) used a child's institution as one distinction criterion in a first game in their study. Note, however, that the distinction between in‐ and out‐group might not be restricted to the social group specified by the institution, but can be linked to other characteristics such as gender, language group, or ethnicity (Angerer et al., 2017; Bindra et al., 2020; Cobo‐Reyes et al., 2020). 10 In a second game implemented in their study, Bindra et al.…”

This survey article provides an overview of the recent experimental economic literature on fairness‐related behaviors in children and adolescents. We discuss different motives underlying fair behavior, summarize the development of fairness and inequality acceptance across different developmental stages, and we shed light on behavioral heterogeneity with respect to gender, SES, and cultural background. Moreover, we also discuss the role of preferences and social norms as determinants of fair behavior in children and adolescents. To learn about the origins of fair behavior, we address the influence of social environments, such as the family and we discuss the potential contribution of the genetic disposition.

“…Individuals who are purely self-interested are less likely to adopt the prosocial behaviors that lead to sustainable water consumption, unless social norms exert sufficient social pressure to push self-interested individuals to do otherwise. Since the acquisition of preferences for prosocial behaviors as well as the internalization of social norms take place, in a substantial part, during childhood (House and Tomasello, 2018;House et al, 2020), it becomes a critical goal to create opportunities for young children to develop such preferences and internalize norms of sustainable water consumption (Copple et al, 2013;Cobo-Reyes et al, 2020).…”

In this study we estimate the impact of a game-based educational program aimed at promoting sustainable water usage among 2nd-4th grade students and their families living in the municipality of Lucca, Italy. To this purpose we exploited unique data from a quasi-experiment involving about two thousand students, one thousand participating (the treatment group) and one thousand not participating (the control group) in the program. Data were collected by means of a survey that we specifically designed and implemented for collecting students' self-reported behaviors. Our estimates indicate that the program has been successful: the students in the program reported an increase in efficient water usage and an increase in the frequency of discussions with their parents about water usage; moreover, positive effects were still observed after six months. Our findings suggest that game-based educational programs can be an effective instrument to promote sustainable water consumption behaviors in children and their parents.

“…Besides gender, other studies have focused on other individual characteristics such as age. For instance, Cobo-Reyes et al (2020) conduct a cross-country experiment to study how social preferences evolved across age. They find evidence of an inverse 'U-shaped' relation between age and altruism.…”

“…Several studies have shown that preferences are heterogeneous across multiple socioeconomic characteristics (e.g Henrich et al, 2001;Gneezy et al, 2009;Falk et al, 2018). Moreover, empirical evidence has also shown that preferences are dynamic and can change over an individual's lifetime (Cobo-Reyes et al, 2020), or after individuals are exposed to shocks (e.g Castillo & Carter, 2011), or can be shaped with the use of interventions such as social information strategies (e.g Meier et al, 2020;Schier, 2020). However, while most empirical research focuses on measuring preferences' dynamics and heterogeneity, few research studies show how they influence economic and social outcomes.…”
