Abstract
We investigate the pro-social behavior of unemployed individuals. First, among the unemployed individuals there exist signi…cant dierences in pro-social behav- ior. Second, we observe two dierent groups; one includes unemployed individuals that work voluntarily parallel to unemployment bene…ts and the other includes un- employed individuals that do not work or are forced to work by the job center. Controlling for income eects, we discover dierences, in the solidarity game, that the former shows more solidarity than the latter. Altogether, behavior of unem- ployed individuals in the experiment is consistent with the decision towards work attitude in reality. Third, the probability of choosing to work voluntarily parallel to unemployment bene…ts increases with solidarity.
