When do we cooperate and why? This question concerns one of the most persistent divides between "theory and practice", between predictions from game theory and results from experimental studies. For about 15 years, theoretical analyses predict completely-mixed "behavior" strategies, i.e....

Reanalyzing 12 experiments on the repeated prisoner's dilemma (PD), we robustly observe three distinct subject types: defectors, cautious cooperators and strong cooperators. The strategies used by these types are surprisingly stable across experiments and uncorrelated with treatment parameters,...

We seek to extend our understanding of bargaining preferences, and do so experimentally using the three-player demand bargaining game. In this game, two non-proposers simultaneously state their demands, then the proposer offers, and at least one demand must be satisfied otherwise the proposal...
