The effect of opposing action spaces on group cooperation 1: University of Augsburg, Germany; 2: Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain We present an economic experiment where two groups interact in a linear public good game. We study two questions: First, is group behavior different when their action is framed as “taking from a public good” versus “giving to a public good”? Second, how do groups behave when one of them takes from the public good while the other one gives? Analyzing the effect of framing is important because it sug- gests a way to encourage cooperation. Analyzing this effect for groups is important because groups (teams) are fundamental decision-making units in the economy. Fi- nally, analyzing opposing action spaces (one group gives while the other takes) is important because they characterize many real-world social dilemmas. We find that framing also affects groups: take-groups cooperate significantly less than give-groups in symmetric settings (with either two take- or two give-groups). In contrast, we do not find that take-groups behave differently from give-groups in opposing (or asym- metric) settings with one take- and one give-group; both groups are as cooperative as give-groups in a standard symmetric setting. | |
