为了确定哪些配偶会对不对称信息做出反应，我和这对夫妇中的每一个人玩了两个独裁者游戏。一个决定对被告的配偶保密，而另一个选择是公开的。大多数人在公开和秘密的情况下给予相同的金额，而少数人则表现出机会主义，在公开场合给予配偶更多，而在秘密中给予较少。在实验室中识别的类型在家里也表现不同。对于那些在实验室中表现出机会主义行为的人来说，更多的关于家庭财务的知识与实验室中更糟糕的机会主义有关，这表明对于这些夫妇来说，家庭中的完整信息不是由于信任，而是对非合作行为的内源性反应。该文件强调，允许异质类型的变化，我们得出的结论，适当的家庭模型，并建议实验室游戏可以用来确定家庭类型的实地数据的解释有用。
To identify which spouses respond to asymmetric information, I play two dictator games with each member of the couple. One decision is kept secret from the respondent's spouse, while another choice is public. Most people give the same amount in public and secret, while a minority behave opportunistically and give more to their spouse in public and less in secret. The types identified in the lab also behave differently at home. For those who behave opportunistically in the lab, greater knowledge about finances at home is associated with worse opportunism in the lab, suggesting that for these couples complete information at home is not due to trust but rather is an endogenous response to non-cooperative behavior. The paper highlights that allowing for heterogeneous types changes the conclusions we draw about appropriate models of the household and suggests that laboratory games can be used to identify household types useful in the interpretation of field data.
