Sustaining cooperation in laboratory public goods experiments: a selective survey of the literature (2011, background): “In Gächter and Thöni (2005) participants first take part in a “ranking experiment” which consists of playing a one-shot linear public goods game with an MPCR of 0.6 in randomly formed groups of three.”
Conditional cooperation: Behavioral regularities from the lab and the field and their policy implications (2006, background): “Source: Gächter and Thöni (2005).”
Playing with the Good Guys - A Public Good Game with Endogenous Group Formation (2011, result): “This result has been confirmed by several previous experiments where, without subjects’ knowledge, groups are formed exogenously based on previous contribution behavior (Gächter and Thöni, 2005; Gunnthorsdottir, Houser, and McCabe, 2007; Ones and Putterman, 2007).”
Peer effects in Austrian schools (2005, background): “Recent research in behavioral economics has shown that individuals are heterogeneous with respect to cooperative behavior and the willingness to cooperate often depends on the cooperativeness of others ( Gachter and Thoni 2005 ).”
Paradigmatic Experiments: the Dictator Game (2010, background): “…of this kind are “born refuted”: we know for example that unconditional cooperation explains only a minority data in Public Goods games (Burlando and Guala 2005, Gachter and Thoni 2005), and that subjects behave quite differently depending on whether the other players expect them to be fair or not.”
Competition, cooperation, and corporate culture (2011, unknown): “, the quotations at the beginning of the paper which are taken from Gittell (2003). (4)Fortune magazine has even called Southwest “the most successful airline in history” (Brooker 2001).”
Heterogeneous Social Preferences and the Dynamics of Free Riding in Public Goods (2006, background): “Gächter and Thöni (2005) find that cooperative subjects who know that they are among other “likeminded” cooperators indeed cooperate at almost the efficient level and without any substantial decay.16 A final issue concerns the stability of preferences.”
Measuring conditional cooperation: a replication study in Russia (2009, background): “See for instance Keser and van Winden (2000), Gächter and Thöni (2005) and Croson (2007).”
Leader Punishment and Cooperation in Groups: Experimental Field Evidence from Commons Management in Ethiopia (2015, background): “In these findings the incentives for conditional cooperators (i.e., group members who cooperate voluntarily given that others cooperate as well) has been shown to play an important role (Fischbacher and Gächter 2010; Gächter and Thöni 2005, 2011).”
Social Learning and Norms in a Public Goods Experiment with Inter-Generational Advice (2006, unknown): “See Gächter and Thöni (2005) and Page, Putterman and Unel (2005) for studies that also document high cooperation even in the absence of punishment opportunities.”
