  "As they are very sensitive to incentives, they also tend to earn more money," Dr. Thomas Dohmen of Maastricht University said in a statement.
  
  However, the study, published in the Economic Journal, found even pay cuts are not an effective means of bringing negatively reciprocal people back into line -- ultimately the danger arises that they will take revenge -- for example, by refusing to work, or by sabotage, Dohmen said.

  The researchers then related these data to other results of the survey, whereby they stumbled upon a number of interesting correlations: "Thus, positively reciprocal people tend on average to perform more overtime, but only when they find the remuneration fair", declares Professor Dr. Thomas Dohmen of Maastricht University.

  Thomas Dohmen, of the University of Bonn, has just published a study of the behaviour of German referees in 3500 matches in the 12 years to 2004.He finds that statistically they are biased in favour of whatever team happens to be playing at home.They lengthen those games in which the home team is behind and they award it more disputed and incorrect penalties than they do its opponents.
  
  But not for the reason you might think.What is important, Thomas finds, is not the referee's own affiliation, but unrelated factors such as the composition of the crowd, the stadium's design and the spectators' proximity to the field.
  ...
  Dohmen is not the first economist to discover that although referees are paid to be objective, their decisions are affected by the mood of the crowd around them.

  "Probably the referee is subjected to greater social pressure if the spectators are right next to the pitch," is how Dr. Thomas Dohmen interprets the result.
  
  An additional observation also supports the theory that referees submit to spectator pressure: the closer the rival teams lived to each other, the smaller the preferential treatment given to the home team by the referee."The closer the opponent, the more fans there are who go to an away match," explains Thomas Dohmen, who is an economist doing research at the Institute for the Future of Work (the Institut zur Zukunft der Arbeit or IZA) and the University of Bonn."By contrast, far fewer fans travel to away matches which are much further distant.The influence of home fans in the stands is of course that much more overwhelming there and thus the pressure on the referee is greater.
  
  When in doubt, for the home team?
  
  For his study "Social pressure influencing individuals' decisions" Thomas Dohmen looked at a total of 3,519 first division matches between 1992 and 2003.As part of his study he used data from the company "Innovative Media Technology and Planning" (IMP).The IMP looks after the only German Football League data bank officially recognised by the German Football League and collects more than 2,000 individual facts per game - among these, for example, the duration of injury and stoppage time.In addition it also assesses whether the referee decisions in the match in question were correct.For this purpose the IMP experts make use of video material, inter alia."From the beginning of the 1992/93 season to the winter break in 2003/04 a total of 10,166 goals were scored," says Thomas Dohmen.
