This economic laboratory experiment in Colombia tests the effect of social recognition on cooperation within teams in organizations in the context of a communicative and pedagogical intervention. Employees at a private organization participated in an online public goods game before and after the intervention and showed behavioral differences between group and private recognition and control. Evidence confirms that social innovation interventions may crowd out the beneficial effect of non-monetary incentives on cooperation.

Work-in-progress sessions are designed to generate in-depth discussion of new scholarly work. For the pre-circulated paper and to attend, register with kievents@nd.edu.
