A growing body of literature in experimental economics examines how cognitive ability affects cooperation in social … different continuation probability under two conditions: whether cooperation can be sustained as risk dominance or not. We asked … that participants with greater cognitive abilities cooperated more (less) when cooperation could (not) be sustained as risk …

In this paper we show experimentally that conditional cooperation, a phenomenon described in the private provision of … determines if they overcome a rival group. This environment allows us to identify new determinants of conditional cooperation. We … observe conditional cooperation in successful groups and in groups where members contribute more than rivals (even if they …

simultaneous social dilemmas. The divided-loyalty hypothesis, from organizational theory, predicts that cooperation will decline as … individuals experience multiple social dilemmas with different compared to the same group members. The conditional-cooperation … hypothesis, from behavioral economics, predicts that cooperation will increase as individuals experience multiple social dilemmas …

We find that not only the presence, but also the strength of inequality has a negative impact on cooperation, but … cooperation, but has contrasted effects on the contribution gaps between the rich and the poor. There is no significant effect of …

opportunity for profitable cooperation. Our experimental method creates two groups of subjects who are similar but have different … long-run losses. Initially similar, cooperation rates for groups with different intelligence levels diverge, declining in … groups of lower intelligence, and increasing to reach almost full cooperation levels in groups of higher intelligence …

In higher intelligence subjects, cooperation after the initial … difference is absent. Cooperation of higher intelligence subjects is payoff sensitive, thus not automatic: in a treatment with …

In PD, disclosure markedly hampers cooperation, as higher intelligence players … with low payoff inequality, disclosure disrupts coordination, as higher intelligence players try to force their most … does not significantly affect coordination, while coordination is more often on outcomes that favor the less intelligent …

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 …

artificial intelligence may or may not be cooperative. We study the deter-minants and forms of algorithmic cooperation in the … prisoner’s dilemma games played by humans in the lab. We find that the same factors that increase human cooperation largely … also determine the cooperation rates of algorithms. However, algorithms tend to play different strategies than humans …
