Hierarchy, power, and strategies to promote cooperation in social dilemmas

of social life: hierarchy and power asymmetry. While recent accounts posit that hierarchies can reduce within …-group conflict, individuals who possess high rank or power tend to show less cooperation. How, then, is cooperation achieved within … groups that contain power asymmetries? To address this question, the present research examines how relative power affects …

An experimental study of self-enforcing coalitions

Jandoc, Karl Robert L.; Juarez, Ruben - In: Games 10 (2019) 3/31, pp. 1-32

We study a model in which agents endowed with power compete for a divisible resource by forming coalitions with other … agents. The coalition with the greatest power wins the resource and divides it among its members via proportional sharing. We … conduct an economic experiment using this model to investigate possible behavioral factors that may explain deviations from …

Economic harmony : a rational theory of fairness and cooperation in strategic interactions

Suleiman, Ramzi - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-21

Experimental studies show that the Nash equilibrium and its refinements are poor predictors of behavior in non-cooperative strategic games. Cooperation models, such as ERC and inequality aversion, yield superior predictions compared to the standard game theory predictions. However, those models...

Equity versus efficiency? : evidence from three-person generosity experiments

Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, Manfred; Bäker, … - In: Games 1 (2010) 2, pp. 89-102

In two-person generosity games, the proposer’s agreement payoff is exogenously given, whereas that of the responder is endogenously determined by the proposer’s choice of the pie size. In three-person generosity games, equal agreement payoffs for two of the players are either exogenously...

Fairness and trust in structured populations

Tarnita, Corina E. - In: Games 6 (2015) 3, pp. 214-230

Classical economic theory assumes that people are rational and selfish, but behavioral experiments often point to inconsistent behavior, typically attributed to "other regarding preferences." The Ultimatum Game, used to study fairness, and the Trust Game, used to study trust and trustworthiness,...

and the other on predicting the choices of the second mover. The competitions are based on an estimation experiment and a … competition experiment. The two experiments use the same methods and subject pool, and examine games randomly selected from the … same distribution. The current introductory paper presents the results of the estimation experiment, and clarifies the …

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...

Patience or fairness? : analyzing social preferences in repeated games

Duffy, John; Muñoz-García, Félix - In: Games 3 (2012) 1, pp. 56-77

This paper investigates how the introduction of social preferences affects players’ equilibrium behavior in both the one-shot and the infinitely repeated version of the Prisoner’s Dilemma game. We show that fairness concerns operate as a ”substitute” for time discounting in the...

Responder feelings in a three-player three-option ultimatum game : affective determinants of rejection behavior

Pfister, Hans-Rüdiger; Böhn, Gisela - In: Games 3 (2012) 1, pp. 1-29

This paper addresses the role of affect and emotions in shaping the behavior of responders in the ultimatum game. A huge amount of research shows that players do not behave in an economically rational way in the ultimatum game, and emotional mechanisms have been proposed as a possible...

Tacit collusion under fairness and reciprocity

İriş, Doruk; Santos-Pinto, Luís - In: Games 4 (2013) 1, pp. 50-65

This paper departs from the standard profit-maximizing model of firm behavior by assuming that firms are motivated in part by personal animosity–or respect–towards their competitors. A reciprocal firm responds to unkind behavior of rivals with unkind actions (negative reciprocity), while at...
