Abstract

In Dictator Games, we manipulate whether the endowment is randomly assigned or earned by the dictator or the recipient, in a conceptual replication of Oxoby and Spraggon (2008) and Cherry et al. (2002). Our experimental sample comes from Bogota (Colombia). The experiments introduced performance thresholds based on Cherry et al. (2002), creating low and high-stakes conditions. Our results confirm that the endowment’s origin shapes allocation decisions, but the size of the effect appears to be different between our study and the original ones conducted in North America.
