Abstract: Previous studies have shown that punishment can increase and stabilize cooperation in many situations. In this study, we conducted an online stated-choice experiment in Japan to elicit respondents’ preferences for different types of punishments that they thought should be imposed on uncooperative people to encourage cooperation within a team. We observed heterogeneity in preferences for different types of punishment among individuals in different preference groups, as estimated from the latent class logit model. Our results suggest that several socioeconomic characteristics are associated with the classification of preference groups.
