Costly Confessions
(with Fabio Galeotti)
Revise & Resubmit, Management Science

In economic interactions, lies for personal gain are common but hard to detect due to private information. In a large-scale online experiment with 1,202 subjects, individuals could confess their lies to counterparts at a personal monetary cost, which we varied across treatments. Confessions effectively helped detect lying, even when costs were high, and this effect persisted over time. However, the option of confessing neither deterred nor increased future lying, while false confessions were rare. These results support the use of confessions as an inexpensive and effective mechanism for detecting lies without affecting future behavior.
