We find … that when individuals have initially experienced systematic audits, they decrease both their beliefs and their … irregular, they maintain high beliefs about the probability of being audited and continue cooperating long after audits have …

We investigate the link between leadership, beliefs and pro-social behavior. This link is interesting because field … influenced by leaders (CEOs, politicians) and beliefs about others' behavior. Our framework is an experimental public goods game … with a leader. We find that leaders strongly shape their followers' initial beliefs and contributions. In later rounds …

differences in beliefs about others contributions. By and large, this indicates the importance of conditional cooperation. …This paper experimentally examines how religious festivals and the degree of religiosity affect cooperation and … altruistic punishment by using public goods experiments. We conducted the experiments in Turkey at different points in time; one …

We test if cooperation is promoted by rank-order competition between groups in which all groups can be ranked first, i … are absent if groups perform at the same level and it therefore does not eliminate low-cooperation equilibria. We find … that all-can-win competition produces a universal increase in cooperation and benefits a majority of individuals if …

We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences in voluntary cooperation. We elicit individuals' cooperation … preference in one experiment and make a point prediction about the contribution to a repeated public good. This allows for a … predicted contributions, because they contribute in the first half of the experiment. We also show that the interaction of …

In addition to a baseline treatment with common knowledge … of the game structure and feedback about choices in the previous period, we run treatments (i) without feedback about …

The pay schemes are a piece rate payment scheme and a winner …-takes-all tournament. We find that, regardless of the pay scheme used, feedback does not improve performance.
