- Summary: «The researchers observed two recurring types of behaviour. Some participants acted consistently cooperatively: they reliably paid their share – roughly what would be required if everyone behaved in the same way. Others, by contrast, contributed very little. They gambled on the fact that the rest, fearing a shared loss, would put in more.» ... «From the authors’ point of view, this highlights the need for binding rules and political tools that support collective action and limit free riding. Simply hoping that disasters will bring about insight is not enough.»
