Revealing the economic consequences of group cohesion
Gächter, Simon; Starmer, Chris; Tufano, Fabio - 2017
Pareto-superior outcomes in classic weak-link coordination games. We show that effects of cohesion are economically large …

Living in two neighborhoods : social interactions in the LAB
Falk, Armin; Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - 2003
Field evidence suggests that agents belonging to the same group tend to behave similarly, i.e., behavior exhibits social interaction effects. Testing for such effects raises severe identification problems. We conduct an experiment that avoids these problems. The main design feature is that each...

Field evidence suggests that people belonging to the same group often behave similarly, i.e., behaviour exhibits social interaction effects. We conduct an experiment that avoids the identification problem present in the field. Our novel design feature is that each subject simultaneously is a...

Social closeness can help, harm and be irrelevant in solving pure coordination problems
Gächter, Simon; Starmer, Chris; Thöni, Christian; … - 2021
Experimental research has shown that ordinary people often perform remarkably well in solving coordination games that … involve no conflicts of interest. While most experiments in the past studied such coordination games among socially distant … anonymous players, here we study behaviour in a set of two player coordination games and compare the outcomes depending on …
