Experimental Studies of Cooperation

  Research Group: Economics
We intend to run an experiment on cooperation following the Konovalov et al (2025) paper in Summer 2026. The point is that we ask participants if they want to cooperate; our pilot study showed that yes they do, even if they don't have an explicit reward for doing so. Read more
