Real wealth and experimental cooperation: experiments in the field lab (2003, background): “In another paper ( Cardenas , 2001 ) , I discuss how for these same 10 groups one can correlate the social efficiency achieved at the end of the experiment with the percentage of players with their main income being from extractive activities , or negatively with the percentage of players having…”
The value-added of laboratory experiments for the study of institutions and common-pool resources (2006, background): “Cardenas also found that ‘social distance and group inequality based on the economic wealth of the people in the group seemed to constrain the effectiveness of communication for this same sample of groups’ (Cardenas, 2000, p. 317; see also Cardenas, 2003).”
