Reviews
A very accessible and valuable introduction into behavioural and experimental economic research with a focus on social preferences; nicely written, the book is ideally suited to form the basis for a course. -- Michael Kosfeld, Director, Frankfurt Laboratory for Experimental Economic Research, Goethe University Frankfurt If you are looking for an easily accessible and clearly written introduction into the experimental economics literature on social preferences, you will enjoy reading this book. The well-picked selection of seminal contributions in this multifaceted field provides an ideal starting point for anyone interested in embarking on research on social preferences and is a valuable source also for experts in the field. The combination of an insightful overview with the detailed exposition of selected research and with methodological and practical guidance makes this book novel and precious. -- Bettina Rockenbach, Professor of Economics, University of Cologne A very exciting book on the mysteries of social preferences and human sociality. The book allows students to view the inside of what makes economic experiments on social interactions so inspiring and thought-provoking. -- Marie Claire Villeval, Research Professor in Economics, Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Paris Research on social preferences has been a flourishing area of investigation and a major contributor to the success of behavioural economics. Michalis Drouvelis' marvellous book provides the reader with a fantastic and eminently readable introduction into this fascinating research to which he has also made many important contributions himself. Highly recommended for anyone interested in human social behaviour. -- Simon Gachter, Professor of Psychology of Economic Decision Making, University of Nottingham A true tour de force treatment of lab experiments that measure social preferences. This convivial tome is a must for any student, researcher, and policy-maker interested in other regarding preferences. -- John List, Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor of Economics, University of Chicago As economists, we have a hard time understanding and modeling social behavior. In this book, Drouvelis does an outstanding job at presenting the empirical evidence in a clear and comprehensive way. I enjoyed reading his take on the literature, and believe this will be an important book for everyone who wants to understand the way economists think about social preferences. -- Uri Gneezy, Epstein/Atkinson Endowed Chair in Behavioral Economics, University of California San Diego If you are interested in social preferences and how to study them with the tools from experimental economics, this is a must read! Covering the main economic games on this, Michalis Drouvelis has written a very inspiring and informative textbook that will help not only economists but all researchers interested in these questions. -- Anna Dreber, Professor of Economics, Stockholm School of Economics
