The innovative character of the thesis is versatile. In the beginning, after replicating basic results of public good experiments with communication, the effect of economic education on
first- and second-order dilemmas are analyzed. Subsequently follows the analysis of the
permanency of the positive effect of communication (as a form of a behaviorally informed institution). While the first question aims to analyze an old standing question of the effect of
economic education, the second contributes to the recently rising research branch of spillover
effects of institutions. Further, the thesis presents a newly developed multiplayer ultimatum game enabling the analysis of fairness in groups distinguishing between the role of
information and communication. Ultimately, the thesis presents the results of a jointly
developed automatic facial-expressions software and combines these with the conducted
contents analysis of the communication protocols.
