“…We also add to the extensive literature on lying. Existing studies have explored several important aspects of dishonesty including the role of shame (Greenberg, Smeets, and Zhrakhovska 2015), guilt (Charness and Dufwenberg 2006;Battigalli, Charness, and Dufwenberg 2013), perceived unfairness (Houser, Vetter, and Winter 2012), gender (Dreber and Johannesson 2008;Muehlheusser, Roider, and Wallmeier 2015), magnitude of pay-off (Suri et al 2011;Fischbacher and F€ ollmi-Heusi 2013), time preference (Ruffle and Tobol 2014), education (Ruffle and Tobol 2016), morality (Shu et al 2012), and lying costs more broadly (Gneezy 2005;Abeler, Becker, and Falk 2014;Kajackaite and Gneezy 2017). A common feature of all of these studies is that they ask subjects to make self-reports using blank forms.…”
