When agents derive heterogeneous benefits from cooperation, a tension between efficiency and equality often arises. This tension can impede agents’ ability to cooperate efficiently. We design a laboratory experiment, in which we investigate the capacity of communication and punishment, separately and jointly, to promote cooperation in such an envir...

Leaning-against the-wind (LAW) policies, whereby interest rates are raised in the face of a growing asset price bubble, are often advocated as a means of dampening such bubbles. On the other hand, there are theoretical arguments suggesting that such a policy could have the opposite effect (Gal í, 2014). We study the effect of monetary policy on ass...

We report an experiment that considers the impact of emotional state on honesty. Using the die-rolling task created by Fischbacher and Föllmi-Heusi to detect the level of dishonesty in a sample of individuals, we study the effects of induced happiness on the incidence of self-interested lying. The experiment uses 360-degree videos to induce emotion...

... Indeed, it is tempting for central bankers to provide extra liquidity to the market when it seems beneficial to do so in the short-run (in Bigoni et al. (2020)'s environment, it may facilitate trade), but this may come at a cost of currency devaluation. Similarly, Galí et al. (2020) show that while an expansionary monetary policy makes bubbles more pronounced in the short run, it has a suppresing effect on price levels in the future. ...
... Excluding the three person groups does not affect the results with regard to statistical significance, with the exception that the difference in contributions in period 10 between the Neutral and Disgust treatments is borderline significant at p = 0.054 rather than at p < 0.05. of any emotion when it was viewed. See Medai and Noussair (2021) for the results for the happiness, fear and neutral videos and Kugler et al. (2020) for the disgust video 7 .On the bases of these earlier manipulation checks, the videos were chosen for emotion induction in this experiment. Neutrality was induced with a video of a field of flowers. ...
... The experimental studies align with observational studies pointing out the capacity of communities to regulate CPR use (Chhatre and Agrawal, 2008;Ostrom, 1990;Rustagi et al., 2010). Additional factors that increase peer-punishment impact in experiments are communication (Koch et al., 2021;Ostrom et al., 1992), and previous trust and experience (Gelcich et al., 2013;Pfaff et al., 2019). ...
