Overview
What you will study
In the Income Interdependence and Informal Risk Sharing course offered by American University of Sharjah (AUS), we will discuss the likelihood that a risk-sharing agreement is self-enforcing and decreases with income correlation.
We tested this prediction in the laboratory with negative, zero, and positive correlation coefficients and observed the largest average transfer in the positive-correlation treatment. This surprising result suggests that experiencing the same state of income could create a social bond and induce altruism between the two players. Therefore, informal risk sharing can be successful in a group with social identity despite high income interdependence.
