DESCRIPTION:Social norms prescribe and proscribe. They are scripts that gui
 de behaviour and save cognitive resources for the decision-maker in normal 
 times. But in the course of a lifetime subjects experience major negative e
 conomic shocks (NES)\, losses in income or accumulated assets. Shocks can o
 ccur in both developed and developing countries\, as a result of natural di
 sasters\, violence and conflicts\, health and trauma\, macroeconomic crises
  and recessions. NES alter the cost-benefit profile of norms-following: dec
 reasing marginal utility of income makes avoiding free-riding or bearing th
 e cost of punishment or retaliation more costly. This implies that norm com
 pliance decrease and norms evolve. Or this is what should occur. Whether an
 d to what extent this will occur is the object of this paper. Through a mod
 el where norms enter the utility function and participants are heterogeneou
 s in their psychological cost of compliance\, we derive the predictions for
  a set of anti-social and pro-social tasks. In all these settings\, partici
 pants should decide whether to harm the counterpart. Sometimes this action 
 is prescribed by the norm\, as in punishment and retaliation. Sometimes thi
 s action is proscribed by the norm\, as in cheating or cooperation. The mod
 el predicts that we should observe more norm violations\, in presence of sh
 ocks. Since the predictions are conditional on social norms\, we elicit the
  normative expectations within each situation. To assess the predictions\, 
 we design four experiments and use data from our previous work\, where we m
 anipulate NES by inducing strong losses on the earnings from a Real Effort 
 Task.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont: timothee.demont[at]univ-amu.frEva Ra
