An effective way to foster cooperation is to monitor behaviour and sanction freeriding. Yet, previous studies have … shown that cooperation quickly declines when sanctioning mechanisms are removed.

Successful coordination is key for economic and societal wealth. The rich literature on the minimum-effort game (MEG …) has provided valuable insights into coordination, both theoretically and empirically.
