When punishment fails: Research on sanctions, intentions and non-cooperation
People can become less cooperative when threatened with sanctions, and previous research suggests both "intentions" and incentives underlie this effect. We report data from an experiment aimed at determining the relative importance of intentions and incentives in producing non-cooperative behavior. Participants play a one-shot investment experiment in pairs. Investors send an amount to trustees...
متن کاملBargaining, Enforcement, and Multilateral Sanctions: When Is Cooperation Counterproductive?

Emotionally ar...
متن کاملEvolution of cooperation and altruistic punishment when retaliation is possible.
Altruistic punishment is suggested to explain observed high levels of cooperation among non-kin related humans.

Building on existing models on the evolution of cooperation and altruistic punishment, we explore the consequences of...
