Dynamic effects of enforcement on cooperation
Proceedings Of The National Academy Of SciencesPeer ReviewedRoberto Galbiati +22018Journals
Significance This paper shows experimentally how past fines on noncooperation can affect cooperative behavior even when they are no longer in force. Our experiment allows us to separate different forces: a direct effect of past fines on individual preferences and an indirect effect driven by a response to others’ cooperation. We show that this second mechanism is prominent and creates a snowball effect of cooperation.
