Market economies and pro-social behavior: Experimental evidence from Central Asia

Let’s be honest: A review of experimental evidence of honesty and truth-telling

“…Haan & Kooreman, 2002;Mazar et al, 2008;Steinberg et al (1977)), derogating the predictions of the economics of crime paradigm (Becker, 1968). Subjects appear willing to forfeit pecuniary rewards even in conditions of total anonymity, where there is zero risk of Lost letters/items 0 (Franzen and Pointner, 2013) Self-reported outcomes + (Conrads et al, 2013(Conrads et al, , 2014Houser et al, 2012;Ward & Beck, 1990) À (Howells, 1938) 0 (Abeler et al, 2014;Diener and Wallbom, 1976;Lewis et al, 2012;Piazza et al, 2011) Undeserved money + (Azar et al, 2013Bersoff, 1999) 0 (Bickman, 1971;Rosenbaum et al, 2012;Yuchtman-Yaar and Rahav, 1986) Sender-receiver games + (Dreber & Johanneson, 2008;Gibson et al, 2013) 0 (Cappelen et al, 2013Childs, 2012;Erat and Gneezy, 2012;Gylfason et al, 2013;Holm and Kawagoe, 2010;Lundqvist et al, 2009 detection or eventual punishment (e.g. Abeler et al, 2014;Steinberg et al, 1977).…”

“…On the basis of his findings, Bersoff (1999) concluded that honesty is affected by contextual conditions such as perceived negative impact of dishonesty on a victim. In the related ''revelation game'' (Rosenbaum, Billinger, Stieglitz, Djumanov, & Atykhanov, 2012), subjects were overpaid for their efforts in previous experimental sessions. Alone in the confines of the disbursements office, subjects were instructed to count the cash contents of a sealed envelope, and if satisfied that the amount tallies with the itemized earnings on their payout form, were obliged to sign a declaration form to that effect.…”

“…Finally, as Tables 1-6 illustrate, the vast majority of experimental studies under review have been conducted in single, developed country settings. Further studies which examine cross-societal differences (along the lines of Holm & Kawagoe, 2010;Innes & Mitra, 2013;Rosenbaum et al, 2012;West, 2005) would also considerably add to our knowledge of the eventual effect of cultural and institutional factors on honesty levels. Given the pressing need to distinguish between honest and dishonest types in every conceivable economic and social setting (Arrow, 1974), further research in this important area would be greatly welcome.…”

Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Consumption, Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence from Central Asian Countries

“…An overview of the Central Asian countries (multi-country) literature on the Granger causality (Granger, 1969) and VAR methodology (Sims, 1972) that plethora of survey around (Ashurov et al, 2020;Batsaikhan and Marek, 2017;Bird et al, 2020;Nurseiit, 2020;Rosenbaum et al, 2012). For example, Ashurov et al, (2020) investigated and identified the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Central Asian countries, specifically Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, between 2000 to 2017.…”

From family business orientation to organisational citizenship behaviour: prosocial behaviour in family business performance

“…The established social capital of the family becomes potential resources of competitive advantage to the family ventures (Odom et al, 2019). However, the phenomenon of OCB in the family business context is less known (Rosenbaum et al, 2012), while the family business becomes dynamic over the last decade. According to the survey of PricewaterhouseCooper (2019), the young generation of a family business in Asia tends to provide responsibility to lead a specific change project or social initiative (PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2019;PricewaterhouseCo, 2019) On the other hand, business families demonstrate notorious and long-standing inequities in the industry by adopting unfair and discriminate nepotism (Gorji et al, 2019).…”
