Reward and punishment in social dilemmas /edited by Paul A.M. Van Lange, Bettina Rockenbach, Toshio Yamagishi.

Includes bibliographies and index.

Why do people want to punish others who violate norms and undermine collective interests? What are the emotions that accompany reward and punishment? Even if reward and punishment are effective, are they also efficient - knowing that rewards and punishment are costly to administer?
