66 Another collective dictator game other-regarding preferences in decision making concerning distribution of money, when there are many decision-makers as opposed to one as in the standard dictator game. We allow the recipients to costly punish the decision-makers.

67 Another collective dictator game other-regarding preferences in decision making concerning distribution of money, when there are many decision-makers as opposed to one as in the standard dictator game. We allow the recipients to costly punish the decision-makers. We frame our general decision problem in a political context, in which the decision-makers are political parties and the recipients are voters.

75 The Game

76 The Game Three parties and three voters are matched. 31 yes-votes needed to pass legislation in 60-seat parliament.

77 The Game Three parties and three voters are matched. 31 yes-votes needed to pass legislation in 60-seat parliament. Majority treatment: Party 1 has 40 seats in the parliament, whereas Party 2 and 3 both have 10 seats.

78 The Game Three parties and three voters are matched. 31 yes-votes needed to pass legislation in 60-seat parliament. Majority treatment: Party 1 has 40 seats in the parliament, whereas Party 2 and 3 both have 10 seats. Shared treatment: All three parties have 20 seats in the parliament.

79 The Game Three parties and three voters are matched. 31 yes-votes needed to pass legislation in 60-seat parliament. Majority treatment: Party 1 has 40 seats in the parliament, whereas Party 2 and 3 both have 10 seats. Shared treatment: All three parties have 20 seats in the parliament.

80 Stage 1 The parties vote yes or no to four exogenously given, unfair proposals about distributions of DKK 180 between the parties and voters.

81 Stage 1 The parties vote yes or no to four exogenously given, unfair proposals about distributions of DKK 180 between the parties and voters. See Table. The proposals are shown in random order. Table: Payoffs per subject, DKK If passed If rejected Proposal Per party Per voter Per party Per voter (33/27) (57/3) (63/-3) (87/-27)

82 Stage 2 The voters can punish the parties.

83 Stage 2 The voters can punish the parties. Each voter can maximally punish the three parties by DKK 40 and each party can maximally be punished by DKK 120 (= 3 DKK 40).

84 Stage 2 The voters can punish the parties. Each voter can maximally punish the three parties by DKK 40 and each party can maximally be punished by DKK 120 (= 3 DKK 40). The voters marginal cost of punishing is DKK 0.1.

85 Stage 2 The voters can punish the parties. Each voter can maximally punish the three parties by DKK 40 and each party can maximally be punished by DKK 120 (= 3 DKK 40). The voters marginal cost of punishing is DKK 0.1. We elicit punishments via the strategy method.

86 Stage 2 The voters can punish the parties. Each voter can maximally punish the three parties by DKK 40 and each party can maximally be punished by DKK 120 (= 3 DKK 40). The voters marginal cost of punishing is DKK 0.1. We elicit punishments via the strategy method. We pay out the outcome for one of the four proposals.

87 Stage 2 The voters can punish the parties. Each voter can maximally punish the three parties by DKK 40 and each party can maximally be punished by DKK 120 (= 3 DKK 40). The voters marginal cost of punishing is DKK 0.1. We elicit punishments via the strategy method. We pay out the outcome for one of the four proposals.

89 Does shared responsibility breed unfairness? We compare the proportions of passes between treatments with a Pearson s 2 -test. See Figure The answer is yes at the 10%-level, but no at the 5%-level ( 2 =3.23,p=.0723).
