实验表明，惩罚促进了社会利益的合作，但惩罚的成本超过了合作的收益。这挑战了利他主义合作和惩罚的进化模型，这些模型预测惩罚将是有益的。我们比较了10个周期和50个周期的合作实验。在较长的时间范围内，惩罚无疑是有益的。
Experiments have shown that punishment enhances socially beneficial cooperation but that the costs of punishment outweigh the gains from cooperation. This challenges evolutionary models of altruistic cooperation and punishment, which predict that punishment will be beneficial. We compared 10- and 50-period cooperation experiments. With the longer time horizon, punishment is unambiguously beneficial.
