payoffs on cooperation, focusing on one-shot PD games where efficiency requires mutual cooperation. We report results from … three experiments (N = 1,993): in a preliminary experiment, we vary the payoffs over a large range. In our first main … our experiments and the complementary analyses is that cooperation in a PD increases with the gains of mutual cooperation …

factors: risk, temptation, and efficiency, which we vary as orthogonal treatments. We find that temptation has the largest … relatively small compared to temptation. Risk does not have a significant effect on cooperation. Our finding suggests that … impact on cooperation. Temptation directly deters cooperation and indirectly harms cooperation by lowering beliefs about the …

We examine how conditional cooperation is related to the material payoffs in a Sequential Prisoner's Dilemma experiment … the material loss to the first-mover when the second-mover defects in response to cooperation. We find that few second …

payoffs on cooperation, focussing on one-shot PD games where efficiency requires mutual cooperation. Following Mengel (2018 …) we vary three payoff indices. Indices of risk and temptation capture the unilateral incentives to defect against … defectors and co-operators respectively, while an index of efficiency captures the gains from cooperation.

Existing research supports two opposing mechanisms through which positive mood might affect cooperation. Some studies … have suggested that positive mood produces more altruistic, open and helpful behavior, fostering cooperation. However … reduced use of information, hampering cooperation. We find evidence that suggests the second hypothesis dominates when playing …

We experimentally examine how the incentive to defect in a social dilemma affects conditional cooperation. In our first … study we conduct online experiments in which subjects play eight Sequential Prisoner's Dilemma games with payoffs … conditional cooperation is higher when the own gain from defecting is lower and when the loss imposed on the first mover from …
