The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) has recently funded the project titled 鈥淭he competitive advantage of sanctioning institutions revisited: A multi-lab replication of G眉rerk et al. (2006)鈥 within the Replication Studies programme. The proposal for the replication study was submitted by Marcel van Assen, Vincent Buskens, Rense Corten, Arnout van de Rijt and Wojtek Przepiorka.
About G眉rerk's study
In the experiment "The competitive advantage of sanctioning institutions" of G眉rerk, Irlenbusch and Rockenbach (Science, 2006) study subjects played a game with public goods, a frequently used experiment to study human collaboration. The most important innovation of G眉rerk et al. was that they allowed the studied subjects to choose the institutional regime: with the possibility to sanction or not. However the article was based on single experiment with a small group of study subjects.
