Sustaining cooperation in laboratory public goods experiments: a selective survey of the literature (2011, background): “…of participants are higher with either monetary or non- monetary punishments compared to the baseline situation where no sanctions are available.29 Cinyabuguma et al.

Dynamic social networks promote cooperation in experiments with humans (2011, background): “Another form of punishment which has been shown to promote cooperation effectively is ostracism (56, 57).”
Conditional cooperation: Behavioral regularities from the lab and the field and their policy implications (2006, background): “Experiments have shown that this result can be overturned if targeted punishment of free riders is possible (e.g., Fehr and Gächter 2000) or if the free riders are excluded from the group (Gächter and Thöni 2005 – see section 3.3; Cinyabuguma et al. 2005).”
