Social norms in bribery experiments: The need for making explicit the normative status and duties of each role. The first goal of this review is to propose a new classification of bribery situations based on two dimensions: who initiates the corrupt exchange, and the normative status of those involved. The second goal is to provide a critical review and analysis of the literature on bribery experiments, taking into account the categories introduced. We show that social norms are not properly implemented in experimental games, which explains why the bribery categories defined are poorly modeled. We also discuss experimental evidence to show the potential empirical importance of making social norms explicit. We conclude that an adequate representation of social norms in games would allow increasing the ecological and external validity of bribery experiments.

Keywords : Bribery experiment; Social norm; Ecological validity; External validity.
