Накратко на български

Причините за лъженето и измамата се анализират чрез лабораторни тестове и реални ситуации, включително как конкуренцията стимулира нечестността. Разбирането на тези механизми помага за създаването на ефективни санкции и опазването на доверието в обществото.

Investigating Dishonesty with Experimental Applications: Evidence from the Lab and the Field

Trust plays a very important role in economic and social interactions. It reduces transaction costs, promotes efficiency in markets, improves cooperation, and increases the ability of people, organizations and countries to adapt to complexity and change. Trust is also very fragile and can be easily break with extremely detrimental consequences for society. The project “IDEA” developed a pioneer analysis of what is considered one of the most fundamental threats of trust, and, a major concern of modern society: dishonesty. The central objective of “IDEA” was to better understand the determinants and consequences of cheating and lying behavior, and develop more effective and efficient mechanisms to discourage these counterproductive behaviors and preserve trust. More specifically, “IDEA” investigated what individual characteristics are more/less likely to be associated with dishonest behavior and whether it is possible to outline the identikit of a dishonest individual. It also studied, from a methodological perspective, whether laboratory experiments on cheating are externally valid, and to what extent scrutiny is a problem in the laboratory. Furthermore, it examined the nexus between dishonesty, competition and social information, in order to determine why competitive pressures induce more cheating, and which informational features of the competitive environment are linked to more dishonesty. Finally, by exploring the deterrence effect of information disclosure on audits and the frequency of controls, “IDEA” identified an optimal system of sanctions which discourages dishonesty and minimizes the monetary costs of the enforcement authority.

Цел на проекта

Trust plays a very important role in economic and social interactions. It reduces transaction costs, promotes efficiency in markets, improves cooperation, and increases the ability of people, organizations and countries to adapt to complexity and change. Trust is also very fragile and can be easily break with extremely detrimental consequences for society. This highly interdisciplinary research project aims to develop a pioneer analysis of what is considered one of the most fundamental threats of trust, and, a major concern of modern society: dishonesty. The central objective of “IDEA” is to provide a better understanding of the determinants of dishonest behaviour by incorporates psychological, emotional and social factors that have been only recently brought into economics. Within this framework, “IDEA” intends to develop and test new mechanisms to fight against dishonesty which entail a lower cost for society, and preserve the freedom of citizen. More specifically, “IDEA” will investigate what individual characteristics are more/less likely to be associated with dishonest behaviour to provide a better understanding of deceptive behaviour, and obtain an identikit of a dishonest individual. It will examine the nexus between dishonesty and competition, in order to determine why competitive pressures induce more cheating, and which features of the competitive environment are linked to more dishonesty. By exploring the deterrence effect of information disclosure on audits and sanctions, “IDEA” will help to develop an optimal system of sanctions which discourage dishonesty, and minimize the monetary costs of the enforcement authority and the psychological costs of the citizens.
