Investigating the failure to best respond in experimental games
Alempaki, Despoina; Colman, Andrew M.; Kölle, Felix; … - 2019
In experimental games, a substantial minority of players often fail to best respond. Using two-person 3x3 one-shot games, we investigated whether 'structuring' the pre-decision deliberation process produces greater consistency between individuals' stated values and beliefs on the one hand and...

Social preferences, beliefs and the dynamics of free riding in public good experiments
Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - 2009
One lingering puzzle is why voluntary contributions to public goods decline over time in experimental and real-world settings. We show that the decline of cooperation is driven by individual preferences for imperfect conditional cooperation. Many people's desire to contribute less than others,...

Baader, Malte; Gächter, Simon; Lee, Kyeongtae; Sefton, … - 2022
We experimentally examine how the incentive to defect in a social dilemma affects conditional cooperation. In our first study we conduct online experiments in which subjects play eight Sequential Prisoner's Dilemma games with payoffs systematically varied across games. We find that few second...

Social preferences and the variability of conditional cooperation
Baader, Malte; Gächter, Simon; Lee, Kyeongtae; Sefton, … - 2024
We experimentally examine how incentives affect conditional cooperation (i.e., cooperating in response to cooperation and defecting in response to defection) in social dilemmas. In our first study, subjects play eight Sequential Prisoner's Dilemma games with varying payoffs. We elicit second...
