We study the effect of likability on female and male team behavior in a lab experiment. Extending a two-player public goods game and a minimum effort game by an additional pre-play stage that informs team members about their mutual likability we find that female teams lower their contribution to...

We analyse gender differences in the effect of (mutual) likability on cooperation and coordination outcomes in a laboratory experiment. Our main hypothesis is that likability plays a more important role for women than for men. The experimental results confirm our hypothesis for same-sex pairs...
