Tingkat Kerjasama Pada N-Persons Prisoner’s Dilemma Game: Sebuah Eksperimen Ekonomi

Abstract

N-Persons Prisoner’s Dilemma Games (NPDG) is a form of Prisoner’s Dilemma Games (PDG) involving more than 2 players. Economic classroom experiments using NPDG relatively have not been done, especially in Indonesia. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of changes in payoff structure on the cooperation rates in NPDG. ANOVA shows insufficient evidence to state that the changes in payoff affect the rates of cooperation payoff. Non-monetary rewards on experimental execution and the unexpected reasons of participants to make choices allegedly explain why the results of hypothesis testing are not significant.

Keywords: experimental economics, n-person prisoner’s dilemma, changes in payoff structure, rate of cooperation
