Abstract This study analyses the behavior in a repeated public goods game when subjects know about the possibility of existence of strict conditional cooperators We employed a baseline treatment and a threat treatment in which subjects are Informed about the possibility of being in a group together with automata playing a grim trigger strategy We conjecture the resulting game allows for almost fully efficient outcomes Contributions in the threat treatment increase by 40% before a surprise restart and by 50% after the surprise restart In line with the grim trigger strategy subjects contribute either all or nothing in the threat treatment (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
