Don’t let your work break your soul. I remember well how it lifted our spirits when we—being young RAs at the University of Vienna—were looking for guidance!

Institutional rules promote cooperation by strengthening personal and social norms, which in turn sustains contributions over time. In contrast, in the absence of a rule, norms are weaker and contributions decline steadily over time. (5/n)

Surprisingly, we find no evidence that biased audits erode norms, reduce cooperation, or diminish compliance. (4/n)

Rules work: Simply having a rule reduces free-riding and increases cooperation.
Adding enforcement leads to exact rule-following and less free-riding — but also crowds out full, voluntary cooperation. (3/n)

We test this in an experiment varying the existence of a rule governing public good contributions & whether enforcement of the rule is biased against some players. (2/n)
