Kozlovskaya, Maria - 2017

Subjects who played a payoff-maximising strategy against a computer algorithm ("sophisticates") are more cooperative in a finitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma than subjects who did not play a payoff-maximising strategy ("naifs"). The difference in cooperation rates increases as the subjects gain...

We experimentally investigate a finitely repeated public good game with varying partners. Within each period, participants are pairwise matched and contribute simultaneously. Participants are informed about contributions and each participant evaluates her partner's contribution. At the beginning...
