Cooperation norms in multiple-stage punishment
Nicklisch, Andreas; Wolff, Ireneus - 2009
Carpenter and Matthews (2009) examine the cooperation norms determining people's punishment behavior in a social-dilemma game. Their findings are striking: absolute norms outperform the relative norms commonly regarded as the determinants of punishment. Using multiple punishment stages and...

Engel, Christoph - 2016
For decades, experimental economics has been very interested in behavior that could be characterized as practicing solidarity (although the term is rarely used). Solidarity is a key concept in Catholic Social Teaching. This paper builds a bridge between these two endeavors that, thus far, had...

Selfishness as a potential cause of crime: A prison experiment

Communication and voting in heterogeneous committees : an experimental study
Le Quement, Mark T.; Marcin, Isabel - 2016
We study experimentally the effectiveness of communication in common value committees exhibiting publicly known heterogeneous biases. We test models assuming respectively self-interested and strategic-, joint payoff-maximizing- and cognitively heterogeneous agents. These predict varying degrees...
