The ρ parameter of purely selfless (α = 0) and purely selfish (α = 1) subjects, who always give nothing or everything, cannot be identified. In the regressions reported in columns 3, 6, and 9, we thus omit purely selfless and purely selfish using a one-sided test at the 10% level. SEs are in parenthesis, bootstrapped using 500 repetitions. *P < 0.10, **P < 0.05, ***P < 0.01, and ****P < 0.001.
