"I dream of a country in which people preach so and so and act so and so"
Diego Gambetta (Sociology, Oxford) and myself present a paper at the IV Seminar of Investigation on Social Sciences and Political Studies: "Legal, moral and social norms" on October 19th and 20th in Bogotà, Colombia.
We describe a particular kind of interaction in which two parties who exchange a good prefer both a sub-optimal outcome and trust each other not to deliver exactly what they have promised to deliver. This sort of "mutual connivance" on low quality outcomes may be governed by a puzzling social norm of punishing "do-gooders".
