The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new project at our department from October 2022 with a total amount of €274,110 over a period of three years. Under the title "The Role of Signals, Forgiveness and Reputation for Cooperation (FORGIVE)", the project will investigate the role of forgiveness in solving cooperation problems. It is based on a series of new variants of the infinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma, in which players can cheat and build a lasting reputation. Laboratory experiments will be used to investigate the willingness to forgive after cheating and the strategic use of forgiveness.
