interaction impacts cooperation within groups and surplus distribution. We developed and tested experimentally a Surplus … Allocation Game where cooperation of four agents is needed to produce surplus, but only two have the power to allocate it among … distributors and receivers. While behavior at the group level is diverse for surplus allocation and amount of cooperation …

We experimentally investigate a … research, longer interactions facilitate cooperation. However, many individuals avoid long-term commitment, with uncooperative …

Economists are increasingly interested in the cognitive basis of pro-social behavior. Using response time data, several authors have claimed that "fairness is intuitive". In light of conflicting empirical evidence, we provide theoretical arguments showing under which circumstances an increase...

We experimentally test the social motives behind individual participation in intergroup conflict by manipulating the framing and symmetry of conflict. We find that behavior in conflict depends on whether one is harmed by actions perpetrated by the out-group, but not on one’s own influence on...

The conflict between pro-self and pro-social behaviour is at the core of many key problems of our time, as, for example, the reduction of air pollution and the redistribution of scarce resources. For the well-being of our societies, it is thus crucial to find mechanisms to promote pro-social...
