Groups decide more effectively when group identity is more salient University of Augsburg, Germany We analyse data from a repeated public good experiment where the decisions are taken by two groups (teams) of three participants. In a modified 2x3 design, we juxtapose games where both groups give to a joint project, both groups take from a joint project, or one group gives and the other group takes. In addition, we either nudge groups to cooperate by a normative appeal message in round 1 and round 5 of the repeated game, or we do not present such a nudge. We presume that both the opposing action space and the nudge increase the salience of group identity. Indeed, we find that groups decide more effectively when group identity is more salient. They exchange less messages and need less time to come to a decision when they play against another group that has an opposite action space or when being nudged. Thus, our work highlights the value in researching group identity as potential lever to speed-up group decision-making and improve environmental policies. | |
