group production. We measure group cohesion, adapting the "oneness scale" from psychology. A comprehensive program of new … experiments reveals the considerable economic impact of cohesion: higher cohesion groups are significantly more likely to achieve … Pareto-superior outcomes in classic weak-link coordination games. We show that effects of cohesion are economically large …

We analyze a coordination game with information-constrained players. The players' actions are based on a noisy … environment. We apply our model to the coordination game in the experiment of Frydman and Nunnari (2023), and show that it offers …

People are generally assumed to shy away from activities generating stochastic rewards, thus requiring extra compensation for handling any additional risk. In contrast with this view, neuroscience research with animals has shown that stochastic rewards may act as a powerful motivator. Applying...

An unprecedented number of refugees from Syria has sought refuge in both the Middle East and Europe since the beginning of the civil war in Syria in 2011. We analyze the level of altruism and risk-seeking among Syrian civil war victims in Jordan. We find systematic variations in their revealed...

Does the experience of civil war promote in-group bias among survivors? We try to answer this question by analyzing cooperation in a prisoner's dilemma game among Syrian refugees in two host countries, Germany and Jordan. We use a between-subjects analysis to test our in-group cooperation...
