Why are humans sometimes generous to each other, even at a cost to themselves? Barclay (Cornell University) looks for the answer in theory and empirical research from evolutionary biology and psychology, experimental economics, social psychology, anthropology, and game theory. He concludes that benefits to one's reputation can be a major factor causing generosity. Chapter topics include dyadic relationships and reciprocal altruism, the problem of collective action, individual-level benefits for providing public goods and incentives, and multiple reputational effects on generosity.
