This dissertation presents three independent essays that elicit social preferences in school children by using a combination of experimental measures and survey data. Chapter 2 consider the development of motivations for helping in informal risk-sharing networks from a sample of school children in Bogota, Colombia. Chapter 3 explores the role of warm-glow and pure altruistic in giving by considering ethnic identity of the recipients from a sample of children in Mumbai, India. The last chapter evaluates antisocial behavior under cognitive load of a sample of adolescents from Bogota.
Keywords: behavioral economics, experimental economics, social preferences, pro-social behavior, anti-social behavior, risk sharing, altruism, children
