Subjects are then grouped by three according<br \/>\nto their aversion profiles, and interact in a repeated social dilemma game. In this game,<br \/>\nagents are characterised by a social status so that higher the agent&#8217;s status, higher will be<br \/>\nher earnings. Cooperation is costly for a majority of agents at each period, but statuses can<br \/>\nbe reversed in future periods. We show that cooperation is strongly influenced by the group&#8217;s aversion profile. Groups averse in both dimensions cooperate more than groups averse in only<br \/>\none dimension. Moreover cooperation seems to be more affected by risk aversion, whereas<br \/>\none might interpret cooperative behavior as an inequality averse or altruistic attitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cate_publications":[],"author_publications":[1644,1647,1704,1706,1714,1715],"topic_publications":[],"class_list":["post-8957","publications","type-publications","status-publish","hentry","author_publications-phu-nguyen-van","author_publications-phu-nguyen-van-en","author_publications-dimitri-dubois","author_publications-dimitri-dubois-en","author_publications-brice-magdalou","author_publications-brice-magdalou-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications\/8957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publications"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cate_publications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cate_publications?post=8957"},{"taxonomy":"author_publications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_publications?post=8957"},{"taxonomy":"topic_publications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic_publications?post=8957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
