Thus, although the lab is an artificial environment, one can observe behavior also triggered in a naturally occurring environment. A second interesting study on the connection between lab and field behavior was done by Carpenter and Seki (2005), who combined the advantages of both environments in a very innovative way. The subjects of their study were Japanese fishermen who took part in a lab experiment, but who were also observed in their daily fishing activities.
Fischbacher and Ga¨chter (2006) also elicited beliefs and replicated Croson’s finding of a positive correlation between beliefs and contributions. At the individual level they find subjects who show a positive correlation between beliefs and contributions, whereas other subjects contribute zero even if they believe that others contribute positive amounts. There are at least three problems with using the correlation between beliefs and contributions as an indicator of conditional cooperation. First, beliefs evolve endogenously in the experiment and are thus beyond the control of the experimenter.
