We investigate experimentally whether the extent of conditional cooperation in public good games depends on the … leads and three follow. Even though we observe less conditional cooperation for an MPCR of 0.2, the prevalence of … conditional cooperation remains relatively stable to changes in the MPCR and game timing. In contrast, the level of MPCR has a …

literature defines a “reciprocity effect” as the tendency for Second Movers to return proportions increasing in the amounts that … they receive. In the data that I use, 31% of Second Movers show reciprocity effects, 31% are neutral, and 25% consistently … free-ride, indicating that the aggregate reciprocity effect for the sample as a whole is attributable to a minority of the …

Thus, reciprocity … with unkind actions (negative reciprocity), while at the same time, it responds to kind behavior of rivals with kind … actions (positive reciprocity). We find that collusion is easier to sustain when firms have a concern for reciprocity towards …

In repeated public good experiments, reciprocity helps to sustain high levels of cooperation. Can this be achieved by … location. This mechanism of individually targeted sanctions helps to foster initial cooperation. It decreases over time …, however. Location choices are used to reciprocate, but may not suffice to stabilize voluntary cooperation as an effect …
