چکیده
Does socio-political context impact honesty at the individual level? By running an experiment among Germans collecting their passports or ID cards in the citizen centers of Berlin, we compared levels of honesty in individuals exposed to socialism and individuals exposed to capitalism. We find that individuals with an East German family background cheat significantly more on an abstract die-rolling task than those with a West German family background. In addition, the longer individuals were exposed to socialism, the more likely they were to cheat on our task. While it was recently argued that markets decay morals (Falk and Szech, 2013), our results suggest that other political and economic regimes such as socialism might have an even more detrimental effect on individuals’ behavior.
