2. Public Goods & Reputation: Humans Cooperation Among Non-Relatives Repeated Interaction Conditional Cooperation, Reciprocity Sufficient for Humans? Degree of Cooperation: Maintained? Punish Defectors? Coerce Cooperation?

3. Public Goods & Reputation: Humans Experimental Approaches: Economics & Behavioral Ecology Public Goods Game Indirect Reciprocity Reputation Game

4. 1. Public Goods Game: Example 4 players Each player: Endowment of 20 MU Contributes 0 to 20 MU to Group Project/Keeps Rest Reward All Players: 0.4(Total Contribution)

5. Public Goods Game: Example Free Rider Does Not Invest Takes Share of Public Good Temptation to Defect All 4 Defect; Each Retains 20 MU All 4 Invest Fully: Each Earns 80(0.4) = 32 MU Metaphor: Dilemma of Social Cooperation

6. 2. Indirect Reciprocity Game: Example Similar to Reciprocal Altruism Donor Gives 0 - 3 MU to Specified Receiver Public Donation Reputation Donor Later Becomes Receiver: Third Individual as Donor Reputation Earns Donation > 3 MU If Donors Common, Stable Solution How Get Common?
