Title: Gender Based Prescriptions. Evidence for Altruism
Keywords: Prescriptions
Dictator games
Beliefs
Generosity
Gender
Description: This paper analyzes the way in which men and women are expected to behave differently in an experimental situation. To do so, we concentrate on a single topic: altruism. Since the dictator game provides the most suitable design for studying altruism and generosity in the lab setting, we use a modified version to study the beliefs involved in the game. Our results are substantial: men and women are expected to behave differently and both believe that women are more generous. These two premises affect their behavior.
