Sumario: | In recent years, several experiments have shown individuals exhibit authentic reciprocal behaviour in anonymous one-shot interactions.

The incentive scheme has a prisoner´s dilemma structure. In both simultaneous and sequential games, equilibrium results may differ from those predicted by standard theory. |
