| Abstract: | Levels of cooperation btw. paired subjects in a prisoner's dilemma were compared across two experimental conditions. Different mechanisms to reduce noise were varied across cells. One mechanism provided additional feedback directly to participants as to the effort choice of their partner. The other mechanism was endogenous. The direct mechanism was more effective in achieving greater levels of cooperation. Results imply that cooperation can be manipulated (increased) through greater precision in feedback. However, the feedback mechanism is important in achieving greater cooperation. All mechanisms that reduce noise in the environment do not achieve the same level of increased cooperation. |
