We frame the violation of social norms as the possibility to transfer money designated for donat ion to the own account. Veto rights are implemented by assuming that the t ransfer probability decreases from fifty percent to zero in case the two g roup members disagree. Our most important result is that veto rights incre ase the willingness to take the money to such a large degree that the posi tive effect of veto rights is overcompensated. Thus\, veto rights against the violation of social norms fire back by leading to a mental free-rider behavior. Furthermore\, communication in groups reduces the violation freq uency with veto rights\, but increases it without veto rights. The compari son of individual to group decision making depends on the institutional se tting in groups. Higher amounts are transferred less often.\n DTSTART:20260120T170000Z DTEND:20260120T180000Z LOCATION:Room 301\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Brown Bag Seminar with Dr. Yuriy Timofeyev: Tuesday\, January 20\, 2026 URL:/desautels/channels/event/brown-bag-seminar-dr-yur iy-timofeyev-tuesday-january-20-2026-370322 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
