This way, we aim to explore moral considerations of individuals influenced by two formerly different institutional systems. We find a higher propensity to bribe among young Germans compared to the older generation. Young East Germans even reveal a slightly greater inclination to bribe than their West German counterparts. We conclude that preferences for personal favors may be induced among young East Germans given the tense relationship between market opportunities and conveyed cultural traits of a socialist imprint."}],"_id":"58511","page":"211-264","keyword":["Moral behavior","Corruption","Intra- and intergenerational study","Institutional transformation","Reunification"],"related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1257/rct.5397-2.3","relation":"earlier_version","description":"Ex-ante Registrierung der Studie in der AEA RCT Registry"}]},"year":"2024","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1824-2979"]},"doi":"10.25428/1824-2979/032","publication_status":"published","publication":"European Journal of Comparative Economics","jel":["C91","D73","J14","P51"],"status":"public","oa":"1","intvolume":"        21","date_updated":"2025-02-08T13:58:47Z","extern":"1","date_created":"2025-02-04T14:23:16Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"title":"Inter- and intragenerational differences in corrupt behavior: The development of morals after German reunification","article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://ejce.liuc.it/articles/ejce032.pdf"}],"volume":21,"user_id":"49071","citation":{"mla":"Auer, Thorsten Fabian, et al. “Inter- and Intragenerational Differences in Corrupt Behavior: The Development of Morals after German Reunification.” <i>European Journal of Comparative Economics</i>, vol. 21, no. 2, 2024, pp. 211–64, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.25428/1824-2979/032\">10.25428/1824-2979/032</a>.","ieee":"T.
