We experimentally examine how the incentive to defect in a social dilemma affects conditional cooperation. In our first … conditional cooperation is higher when the own gain from defecting is lower and when the loss imposed on the first mover from … role of social preferences in conditional cooperation …

We examine the effect of payoff variations on cooperation in one-shot prisoner's dilemma games. We focus on three … impact on cooperation. Temptation directly deters cooperation and indirectly harms cooperation by lowering beliefs about the … opponent's cooperativeness. Efficiency indirectly affects cooperation through beliefs, but the magnitude of the effect is …

We experimentally investigate a repeated "inspection game" where, in the stage game, an employee can either work or shirk and an employer simultaneously chooses to inspect or not inspect. Combined payoffs are maximized when the employee works and the employer does not inspect. However, the...

We experimentally investigate a repeated "inspection game" where, in the stage game, an employee can either work or shirk and an employer simultaneously chooses to inspect or not inspect. The unique equilibrium of the stage game is in mixed strategies with positive probabilities of...

We examine the effectiveness of bonuses and fines in an "inspection game" where an employer can learn the effort of a worker through costly inspection. Standard game theoretic analysis predicts that fines discourage shirking, whereas bonuses encourage shirking. In contrast, ownpayoff effects...
