Testing for Heterogeneity of Preferences in Randomized Experiments : A Satisfaction-Based Approach Applied to Multiplayer Prisoners’ Dilemmas
Becchetti, Leonardo - 2016
We use experimental data from the “vote with the wallet” multiplayer prisoner's dilemma to investigate with a finite mixture approach the effect of a responsible purchase on players' satisfaction. We find clear-cut evidence of heterogeneity of preferences with two groups of players that...

Who cooperates in repeated games: The role of altruism, inequity aversion, and demographics
Dreber, Anna; Fudenberg, Drew; Rand, David G. - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 98 (2014) C, pp. 41-55
We explore the extent to which altruism, as measured by giving in a dictator game (DG), accounts for play in a noisy version of the repeated prisoner's dilemma. We find that DG giving is correlated with cooperation in the repeated game when no cooperative equilibria exist, but not when...

Oligopoly as a Socially Embedded Dilemma : An Experiment
Engel, Christoph; Zhurakhovska, Lilia - 2011
dampens cooperation, though only slightly. Surprisingly, externalities are immaterial. If we control for beliefs, they even … foster cooperation. If we combine both qualifications and do not control for beliefs, we only find an uncertainty effect. If … we add beliefs as a control variable, we only find that externalities enhance cooperation, even if gains from collusion …

Observed Punishment Spillover Effects : A Laboratory Investigation of Behavior in a Social Dilemma
Dickinson, David L.; Dutcher, E. Glenn; Rodet, Cortney … - 2013
Punishment has been shown to be an effective reinforcement mechanism. Intentional or not, punishment will likely generate spillover effects that extend beyond one’s immediate decision environment, and these spillovers are not as well understood. We seek to understand these secondary spillover...

When is the Risk of Cooperation Worth Taking? The Prisoner’s Dilemma as a Game of Multiple Motives
Engel, Christoph; Zhurakhovska, Lilia - 2013
Both in the field and in the lab, participants frequently cooperate, despite the fact that the situation can be modelled as a simultaneous, symmetric prisoner’s dilemma. This experiment manipulates the payoff in case both players defect, and explains the degree of cooperation by a combination...

How Do Prisoners Solve Their Dilemma? An Experiment
Chmura, Thorsten - 2016
How do actual prisoners solve their proverbial dilemma? In a lab experiment, conducted in a German prison for male juvenile offenders, we find that prisoners are no less cooperative than students in a symmetric two-person prisoner's dilemma. Using data from post-experimental tests, we explain...

Gender and Cooperation in Children : Experiments in Colombia and Sweden
Cárdenas, Juan-Camilo - 2012
This paper compares cooperation among Columbian and Swedish children aged 9-12. We illustrate the dynamics of the prisoner's dilemma in a new task that is easily understood by children and performed during a physical education class. We find some evidence that children cooperate more in Sweden...

Gender and cooperation in children : experiments in Colombia and Sweden
Cárdenas Campo, Juan Camilo; Dreber, Anna; Essen, Emma von - 2011
We compare how children aged 9-12 in Colombia and Sweden cooperate in a Prisoner's Dilemma. We introduce a new measurement device for cooperation that can be easily understood by children. There is some evidence of more cooperation in Sweden than in Colombia. Girls in Colombia are less...
