摘要

In experimental games, we observe the following phenomena: (1) Many subjects cooperate Contrary to their material interest, (2) they cooperate in a reciprocal manner, (3) Subjects often punish those others who behave Unkindly, and (4) previous history usually influences subjects' choices. We propose a simple game-theoretical model to account for these and other experimental phenomena, and compare it with other models of social preferences and reciprocity. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
