An Experiment : Voluntary Separation in Indefinitely Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma Game

Lee, Natalie - 2021

In economic and social relationships, such as employment and marriages, participants often have the option to separate from their partner. This study experimentally investigates how the option to separate with or without a cost affects cooperation in indefinitely repeated prisoner’s dilemma...

The impact of monitoring in infinitely repeated games : perfect, public, and private

Aoyagi, Masaki; Bhaskar, V.; Fréchette, Guillaume R. - 2015

This paper uses a laboratory experiment to study the effect of a monitoring structure on the play of the infinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma. Keeping the stage game fixed, we examine the behavior of subjects when information about past actions is perfect (perfect monitoring), noisy but public...

Observations on cooperation

Heller, Yuval; Mohlin, Erik - 2017

We study environments in which agents are randomly matched to play a Prisoner's Dilemma, and each player observes a few of the partner's past actions against previous opponents. We depart from the existing related literature by allowing a small fraction of the population to be commitment types....

Indefinitely Repeated Contests : An Experimental Study

Brookins, Philip - 2020

We experimentally explore indefinitely repeated contests. Theory predicts more cooperation, in the form of lower … this result attenuates with contest experience. Theory also predicts more cooperation in indefinitely repeated contests … compared to finitely repeated contests of the same expected length, and we find empirical support for this. Finally, theory …

Strategic Adaptation of Humans Playing Computer Algorithms in a Repeated Constant-Sum Game

Spiliopoulos, Leonidas - 2012

This paper examines strategic adaptation in participants’ behavior conditional on the type of their opponent. Participants played a constant-sum game for 100 rounds against each of three pattern-detecting computer algorithms designed to exploit regularities in human behavior such as...

Spillovers, Persistence and Learning : Institutions and the Dynamics of Cooperation

Galbiati, Roberto - 2017

We study how cooperation-enforcing institutions dynamically affect values and behavior using a lab experiment designed to create individual specific histories of past institutional exposure. We show that the effect of past institutions is mostly due to “indirect” behavioral spillovers:...

Cooperation and Endogenous Repetition in an Infinitely Repeated Social Dilemma

Kamei, Kenju - 2019

Exogenously imposed infinite repetition is known to mitigate people's uncooperative behaviors in dilemma situations with partner matching through personal enforcement. One as yet unanswered question is whether people collectively choose to interact with each other under the partner matching...

The peculiar power of pairs

Sass, Markus; Weimann, Joachim - 2015

To examine the effect of group size on the stability of prosocial behavior we used standard one-shot public good experiments with two and four subjects, which were conducted repeatedly three times at intervals of one week. Partner and stranger treatments were employed to control for group...

Intelligence, personality and gains from cooperation in repeated interactions

Proto, Eugenio; Rustichini, Aldo; Sofianos, Andis - 2016

Intelligence and personality significantly affect social outcomes of individuals. We study how and why these traits affect the outcome of groups, looking specifically at how these characteristics operate in repeated interactions providing opportunity for profitable cooperation. Our experimental...
