TY - JOUR TI - Cooperation and punishment in public goods experiments T2 - American Economic Review IS - 4 AB - This paper shows experimentally that there is a widespread willingness of cooperators to punish free-riders. Results indicate that this holds true even if punishment is costly and does not provide any material benefits for the punisher. In addition, evidence is provided that free-riders are punished the more heavily the more they deviate from the cooperation levels of the cooperators.
