Abstract
English
The present book adds to the broad field of investigations concerning what affects and determines human cooperation. It provides new insights into internal and external factors that influence such decisions. Rather than presenting a closed and universal examination, this book should be seen as an addition to an ongoing process. In particular, the theoretical model and the experimental design to investigate moral hazard in credence goods markets provide a useful basis for further research with strong potential for applicable policy and real-life implications.
