Abstract

Costly punishment's scarcity does not belie strong reciprocity theory as Guala claims. In the presence of strong reciprocators, strategic defectors will cooperate and sanctioning will not occur. Accordingly, natural field experiments are necessary to assess a reading of costly punishment experiments. One such field experiment exists, and it supports the hypothesis that costly punishment promotes cooperation
