We experimentally study the effect of asymmetry on cooperation in a 40 period prisoner's dilemma game in fixed partner … symmetric ones. Asymmetry significantly decreases cooperation, as low-type players are more likely to defect after mutual … cooperation while high-type players initiate cooperation more often than the former. Asymmetry also has a significant negative …
