The strategy method is often used in public goods games to measure an individual's willingness to cooperate depending on the level of cooperation by their groupmates (conditional cooperation).

Give and let give : alternative mechanisms based on voluntary contributions

Grech, Philip D. - In: Games 10 (2019) 2/21, pp. 1-11

We propose a new family of mechanisms, whereby players may give more or less directly to one another. A cornerstone case is the regular linear public goods mechanism (LPGM), where all contribute into a single common group account, the total amount of which is then distributed equally among...

Linkage based on the kandori norm successfully sustains cooperation in social dilemmas

Inaba, Misato; Takahashi, Nobuyuki - In: Games 10 (2019) 1/10, pp. 1-15

The black box as a control for payoff-based learning in economic games

Burton-Chellew, Maxwell N.; West, Stuart A. - In: Games 13 (2022) 6, pp. 1-15

The black box method was developed as an "asocial control" to allow for payoff-based learning while eliminating social responses in repeated public goods games. Players are told they must decide how many virtual coins they want to input into a virtual black box that will provide uncertain...
