Conditional cooperation and the effect of punishment

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2020, vol. 174, issue C, 150-172

Abstract: We study how punishment influences conditional cooperation. We ask two questions: (1) how does conditional cooperation change if a subject can be punished and (2) how does conditional cooperation change if a subject has the power to punish others. In particular, we disentangle the decision to be a conditional cooperator at all from the strength of conditional cooperation.
