Abstract

Lying involves many decisions yielding big or small benefits. Are big and small lies

complementary or supplementary? In a laboratory experiment where the

participants could simultaneously tell a big and a small lie, our study finds that lies

are complementary. The participants who lie more in the big lie, also do so in the small

lie and vice versa. Our study also finds that although replacing one dimension of the

lying opportunities with a randomly determined prize does not affect the overall lying

behavior, repeatedly being lucky on a high-stakes prize leads to less lying on the

report of a low-stakes outcome.
