Summary/Abstract: We carry out a framed corruption experiment in the Slovak Republic, considering actions and social norms and the relationship between these two. Experiment follows modified experimental design firstly proposed by Cameron et al. (2009). Obtained data set shows that economic agents, thus human beings do not achieve subgame perfect equilibrium. Using logistic regression, we investigate the impact of the social norms on venal behavior of economic agents, who can act as a briber, bribee, or of someone who is negatively affected by corruption and is given an opportunity to report it.
