The effect of conflict history on cooperation within and between groups : evidence from a laboratory experiment
Beekman, Gonne; Cheung, Stephen L.; Levely, Ian - 2014
We study cooperation within and between groups in the laboratory, comparing treatments in which two groups have previously been (i) in conflict with one another, (ii) in conflict with a different group, or (iii) not previously exposed to conflict. We model conflict using an inter-group Tullock...

In Groups We Trust : Lower Betrayal Aversion Toward a Group than Toward an Individual
Lee, Sun; Kinias, Zoe; Vanneste, Bart - 2021
Trust is essential to many daily exchanges, wherein a trustor sometimes decides to be vulnerable to an individual or other times to a group. Although a trustor may trust an individual more or less than a group, this topic has been underexplored. We therefore examine whether people are more...

Bribing in team contests
Doğan, Serhat; Karagözoğlu, Emin; Keskin, Kerim; … - 2020
We study bribing in a sequential team contest with multiple pairwise battles. We allow for asymmetries in winning … prizes and marginal costs of effort; and we characterize the conditions under which (i) a player in a team is offered a bribe … by the owner of the other team and (ii) she accepts the bribe. We show that these conditions depend on the ratios of …

Play it again : partner choice, reputation building and learning in restarting, finitely-repeated dilemma games
Kamei, Kenju; Putterman, Louis G. - 2013
Previous research has shown that opportunities for two-sided partner choice in finitely repeated social dilemma games can promote cooperation through a combination of sorting and opportunistic signaling, with late period defections by selfish players causing an end-game decline. How such...

Voting on Punishment Systems within a Heterogeneous Group
Noussair, Charles N. - 2013
We consider a voluntary contributions game, in which players may punish others after contributions are made and observed. The productivity of contributions, as captured in the marginal-per-capita return, differs among individuals, so that there are two types: high and low productivity. Every two...
