Punishment, cooperation, and cheater detection in "noisy" social exchange

Bornstein, Gary; Weisel, Ori - In: Games 1 (2010) 1, pp. 18-33

Explaining human cooperation in large groups of non-kin is a major challenge to both rational choice theory and the theory of evolution. Recent research suggests that group cooperation can be explained by positing that cooperators can punish non-cooperators or cheaters. The experimental evidence...

Inequality aversion and reciprocity in moonlighting games

Engelmann, Dirk; Strobel, Martin - In: Games 1 (2010) 4, pp. 459-477

We study behavior in a moonlighting game with unequal initial endowments. In this game, predictions for second-mover behavior based on inequality aversion are in contrast to reciprocity. We find that inequality aversion explains only few observations. The comparison to a treatment with equal...
