What behaviors are disapproved? : experimental evidence from five dictator games

López-Pérez, Raúl; Vorsatz, Marc - In: Games 3 (2012) 2, pp. 78-96

The literature on social norms has often stressed that social disapproval is crucial to foster compliance with norms and promote fair and cooperative behavior. With this in mind, we explore the disapproval of allocation decisions using experimental data from five dictator games with a feedback...

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...

The power of requests in a redistribution game : an experimental study

Pedersini, Riccardo; Nagel, Rosemarie; Le Menestrel, Marc - In: Games 10 (2019) 3/27, pp. 1-18

In most situations of voluntary contribution people are willing to give at the beginning, however contribution rates decay over time. In a new setup we introduce non-enforceable sharing rules, as requests, in a repeated redistribution game (called tip pooling). Three experimental treatments...
