ItemAsymmetric enforcement of cooperation in a social dilemmaNikiforakis, Nikos ; NORMANN, HANS-THEO ; Wallace, Brian ( 2007-01)The imposition of sanctions is one of the most common means of enforcing cooperation indecentralized interactions. Typically, agents are asymmetric in the sense that each has a differentsanctioning power. Using a public-good experiment we analyze such a decentralizedpunishment institution in which agents are asymmetric. The asymmetric punishment institutionprevents the decay of cooperation towards the non-cooperative equilibrium level. Strongagents contribute less to the public good, but punish more than weak agents. At the aggregatelevel, we observe remarkable similarities between outcomes in asymmetric and symmetricpunishment institutions.
