Abstract

We experimentally evaluate the effect of playing a framed economic game on real-life cooperation. We frame the game within the context of reducing rodent damage to rice. Playing the game increases cooperative control of this pest and significantly reduces losses. The effect is driven by learning about others’ willingness to cooperate.
