Co-operation and competition : the role of identity and social preferences by Chen, Hongyu, Zhang, Ruike, Zhang, Shaoyu

“…Moreover, while considering the interactive effects between gender and information, we observe that male subjects generally behave more aggressively than female and the impact of identity on them could be enhanced by unveiling both Intra-Group and Inter-Group Information. Last but not least, the experimental results suggest that a heterogeneous team composition leads to higher degree of rent dissipation.…”
