Negative reciprocity and the interaction of emotions and fairness norms

Reuben, Ernesto; Winden, Frans A. A. M. van - 2005

This experimental study investigates how behavior changes after punishment for an unkind action. It also studies how fairness perceptions affect the reaction to punishment and whether this effect is consistent across repeated play and role experiences. A repeated version of the power-to-take...

The importance of emotions for the effectiveness of social punishment

Hopfensitz, Astrid; Reuben, Ernesto - 2006

This paper experimentally explores how the enforcement of cooperative behavior in a social dilemma is facilitated through institutional as well as emotional mechanisms. Recent studies emphasize the importance of negatively valued emotions, such as anger, which motivate individuals to punish free...

Social identity strategies in recent economics

Davis, John Bryan - 2005

This paper reviews three distinct strategies in recent economics for using the concept of social identity in the explanation of individual behavior: Akerlof and Kranton’s neoclassical approach, Sen’s commitment approach, and Kirman et al.’s complexity approach. The primary focus is the...

The price of a price : on the crowding out of social norms

Janssen, Maarten C. W.; Mendys-Kamphorst, Ewa - 2001

There is increasing empirical and experimental evidence thatproviding financial incentives to agents to performcertain socially desirable actions may permanently reduce other typesof motivations to undertake these actions.We study the impact of financial incentives on the desire for...

Everybody's doing it : on the emergence and persistence of bad social norms

Smerdon, David; Offerman, Theo; Genîzî, Ûrî - 2016

Social norms permeate society across a wide range of issues and are important to understanding how societies function. In this paper we concentrate on 'bad' social norms - those that are inefficient or even damaging to a group. This paper explains how bad social norms evolve and persist; our...

Repeated prisoner's dilemmas with errors : how much subgameperfection, how much forgiveness, and how much cooperation?

Graser, Christopher; Veelen, Matthijs van - 2024

We consider the repeated prisoner's dilemma with implementation errors, and look at the resulting population dynamics, both analytically and with simulations. We show that with implementation errors, pure equilibrium strategies represented by finite state automata exhibit a structure that we...

Measuring the effectiveness of Anti-Cartel Interventions : a conceptual framework

Katsulakos, Giannēs S.; Motchenkova, Evgenia; Ulph, David - 2016
