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 …

Heuristics Hypothesis (SHH) proposes that fast instinctive decision making promotes cooperation in social dilemmas. In this paper …, we conduct a novel time-pressure experiment to shed light on the cognitive underpinnings of cooperation. Although we find … finding that fast and intuitive decision making promotes cooperation. Given payoff comprehension, the SHH predicts behavior …

We study how the willingness to enter long-term bilateral relationships affects cooperation even when parties have … little information about each other, ex ante, and cooperation is otherwise unenforceable. We experimentally investigate a … research, longer interactions facilitate cooperation. However, many individuals avoid long-term commitment, with uncooperative …

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...

We experimentally investigate behavior and beliefs in a sequential prisoner's dilemma. Each subject had to choose an action as first-mover and a conditional action as second-mover. All subjects also had to state their beliefs about others' second-mover choices. We find that subjects' beliefs...
