On the Effects of Group Identity in Strategic Environments
Le Coq, Chloé; Tremewan, James; Wagner, Alexander K. - 2014
We examine differences in behavior between subjects interacting with a member of either the same or different identity group in both a centipede game and a series of stag hunt games. We find evidence that subjects interacting with outgroup members are more likely to behave as though...
