Human groups can often maintain high levels of cooperation despite the threat of exploitation by individuals who reap the benefits of cooperation without contributing to its costs1,2,3,4. Prominent theoretical models suggest that cooperation is parti... Read More about People prefer coordinated punishment in cooperative interactions.

Stewart, Reimers and Harris (2015, SRH hereafter) demonstrated that shapes of utility and probability weighting functions could be manipulated by adjusting the distributions of outcomes and probabilities on offer, as predicted by the theory of Decisi...

Promoting voter registration: the effects of low-cost interventions on behaviour and norms (2019)
Journal Article
Kölle, F., Lane, T., Nosenzo, D., & Starmer, C. (2020). Promoting voter registration: the effects of low-cost interventions on behaviour and norms. Behavioural Public Policy, 4(1), 26-49. https://doi.org/10.1017/bpp.2019.10

We report two studies investigating whether, and if so how, different low-cost interventions affect voter registration rates. Low-cost message-based interventions are increasingly used to promote target behaviours. While growing evidence shows that s...

On the priming of risk preferences: the role of fear and general affect (2019)
Journal Article
Alempaki, D., Starmer, C., & Tufano, F. (2019). On the priming of risk preferences: the role of fear and general affect. Journal of Economic Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joep.2018.12.011

Priming is an established tool in psychology for investigating aspects of cognitive processes underlying decision making and is increasingly applied in economics. We report a systematic attempt to test the reproducibility and generalisability of prim... Read More about On the priming of risk preferences: the role of fear and general affect.
