There is strong evidence that people exploit their bargaining power in competitive markets but not in bilateral bargaining situations. There is also strong evidence that people exploit free-riding opportunities in voluntary cooperation games. Yet, when they are given the opportunity to punish...

Is Strong Reciprocity a Maladaptation? On the Evolutionary Foundations of Human Altruism
Fehr, Ernst; Henrich, Joseph - 2003
In recent years a large number of experimental studies have documented the existence of strong reciprocity among humans ….

Appropriating the Commons - A Theoretical Explanation
Falk, Armin; Fehr, Ernst; Fischbacher, Urs - Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre, …
In this paper we show that a simple model of reciprocal preferences explains major experimental regularities of common pool resource (CPR) experiments. The evidence indicates that in standard CPR games without communication and without sanctioning possibilities inefficient excess appropriation...
