New categories of conditional contribution strategies in the public goods game

Schäffer, Klaudia; Král, Adrienn; Kun, Ádám - 2025

Human cooperation is ubiquitous and instinctive. We are among the most cooperative species on Earth. Still, research mostly focuses on why we cooperate, instead of understanding why some of us do not do so. The public goods game can be used to map human cooperation as well as to study free...

When needs change norms : experimental evidence that income shocks undermine norm-driven cooperation in forest commons

Atella-Suri, Dominik; Börner, Jan; Kebebew, Zerihun; … - 2026

Forest protection contributes to climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation. Yet negative income shocks can induce local forest users to increase extraction in order to cope with economic hardship. We study how social norms shape collaborative forest management when communities face...

Cultural adaptation and the uneven emergence of large-scale cooperation

Galor, Oded - 2026

This essay suggests that the evolution of human cooperation over the course of human history should be viewed as a two-layer process. A foundational layer, rooted in subsistence and ecological pressures, shaped cooperative dispositions unevenly, whereas an expansionary layer, rooted in conflict...

Trust and cooperation in labor-management relations

Gómez, Rafael; Bryson, Alex; Willman, Paul - 2026

We review the social science literature on trust and cooperation with application to labourmanagement relations. We begin with the neo-classical economic view of self-regarding individuals operating with perfect information and show that once one abandons the dyadic case with perfect...
