Camera, Gabriele; Casari, Marco - 2011
Under what conditions can cooperation be sustained in a network of strangers? Here we study the role of institutions and uncover a new behavioral foundation for the use of monetary systems. In an experiment, anonymous subjects could cooperate or defect in bilateral random encounters. This...

Truth by consensus : a theoretical and empirical investigation
Camera, Gabriele; Garratt, Rod; Monnet, Cyril - 2024
Truthful reporting about the realization of a publicly observed event cannot be guaranteed by a consensus process. This fact, which we establish theoretically and verify empirically, holds true even if some individuals are compelled to tell the truth, regardless of economic incentives. We...

Incentive contracts crowd out voluntary cooperation : evidence from gift-exchange experiments
Gächter, Simon; Kaiser, Esther; Königstein, Manfred - 2024
Explicit and implicit incentives and opportunities for mutually beneficial voluntary cooperation co-exist in many contractual relationships. In a series of eight laboratory gift-exchange experiments, we show that incentive contracts can lead to crowding out of voluntary cooperation even after...

Why and how identity should influence utility
Wichardt, Philipp C. - 2007 - This Version: January 11, 2007
This paper provides an argument for the advantage of a preference for identity-consistent behaviour from an evolutionary point of view. Within a stylised model of social interaction, we show that the development of cooperative social norms is greatly facilitated if the agents of the society...

Culture of trust and division of labor
Meier, Stephan; Stephenson, Matthew - 2015
- specifically the trust environment - and its internal structure. We show experimentally that exogenously imposed culture … endogenously leads to variation in organizational form. We prime trust using past performance from a pilot study and demonstrate … that the level of trust within an organization affects division of labor and consequently organizational productivity. This …
