The give-take framing effect vanishes with groups University of Augsburg, Germany We present an economic experiment where two groups interact in a linear repeated public goods game. In one treatment, groups give to a public good. In the other treatment, groups take from a public good. A large literature has documented that this difference in framing can lead to substantial differences in cooperation in pay-off equivalent social dilemmas. Here, we study the existence and persistence of such a give-take framing effect when groups, not individuals, decide. We find large differences in cooperation in the first supergame of the experiment, but no difference in cooperation in the second supergame. Analyzing the group's decision-making process and their chats, we find that the results can best be explained by groups strongly reciprocating (treatment specific) initial defection in the first supergame, and (irrespective of treatment) adopting a payoff-maximing treshold strategy of initial trust building and last-round defection in the second supergame. | |
