At Least In This Study, The Bad Guys Finish Last
Maybe nice guys don't finish last; at least, according to a study done by the Harvard University. The research showed that after many iterations of a game, players that chose to punish ended up the losers.
The experiment involved a game of Prisoner's Dilemma with an added twist. This Rock, Papers, Scissors style game is based on the premise that two people are caught by the police and in the classic form of the game, each of the two players has a choice to either cooperate, or defect.
In this study cooperation was rewarded with ten cents. If both defected then neither player lost or gained money. If one defected while the other cooperated then the defector won 30 cents while the cooperator lost 20 cents. Martin Nowak, the sydy's author, added an option to punish defection where the cooperative player could pay 10 cents to punish the defector to the tune of 40 cents.
After more than 8,000 games the study revealed that players which chose to punish defection ended up losing by having less money in the end.
