Cooperation and Public Goods: UNIMORE at the Forefront of International Research on Contemporary Social Dilemmas

Understanding how to foster cooperation and sustainably manage public goods is one of the most

pressing challenges facing contemporary societies. These themes will be explored during the

workshop “Cooperation and Public Goods: Punishment, Corruption and Social Dynamics”,

organised by UNIMORE and MOREBEL – Unimore Behavioral and Experimental Laboratory,

scheduled for Monday 11 May 2026 in Room B.04 at the Department of Studies on Language and

Culture (Via Sant’Eufemia 19, Modena).

�

The event will bring together internationally renowned scholars, including two recipients of ERC

Consolidator Grants, and will provide an important opportunity to discuss the latest

developments in the economics of cooperation. Discussions will focus on social dilemmas, norms,

reputation, networks and corruption, drawing on insights from economics, computational social

science and game theory. Particular attention will be devoted to the institutional and informal

mechanisms that encourage or undermine cooperation.

Invited speakers include internationally recognised experts in the study of cooperative behaviour

and social dynamics, among them Christoph Hauert (University of British Columbia), Marco Casari

(University of Bologna), Giulia Andrighetto (CNR) and K�roly Tak�cs (Link�ping University and the

Hungarian Academy of Sciences).

The workshop is organised by Simone Righi, Francesca Pancotto and Stefano Mariani as part of

the project CO-OPTION – Human Cooperation for the Sustainable Management of Public Goods

under Institutional Punishment and Corruption, funded through the UNIMORE FAR 2024

programme.

�

The initiative reflects UNIMORE’s ongoing commitment to research into the mechanisms that

shape cooperation between individuals and institutions. Through experimental activities,

theoretical models and international collaborations, the University contributes to the

development of tools aimed at addressing concrete challenges such as the management of shared

resources, the prevention of corruption and the strengthening of trust in institutions.

The event also provides an opportunity to showcase the University’s interdisciplinary expertise

and the work of its experimental economics laboratories, which are playing an increasingly

important role in the study of collective behaviour and public policy.

The workshop is open to the public upon registration.
