Labels for Misbehavior in a Population with Short-Run Players

This paper studies how an information mechanism that labels defectors can sustain cooperative behavior in communities containing a subset of short-run players. This is done in the context of a repeated Prisoner's Dilemma game. The paper presents sufficient conditions for a sustainable equilibrium under different information technologies that identify defectors. It also analyzes imperfect labeling mechanisms.
