The nasty neighbor effect in humans
Humans not only cooperate but also compete more with in-group members than with out-group members and strangers.

@lhoenig.bsky.social 's groundbreaking project (the first from her PhD, with me and @dedreu.bsky.social ) is out, in JEP:G no less! See the comments for open access links.
Thanks to JEP:G, my collab. Ruthie Pliskin & Carsten De Dreu, and some constructive reviewers, our paper sees the light of day!
Honoring that humans often have multiple public goods in which they can choose to invest resources, we explore the realm of ✨multiple-public-goods provision problems✨
