Research Focus
Bettina Rockenbach is a German economist. Her research focuses on designing mechanisms to promote cooperation in social dilemma situations and frameworks for socially responsible economic behavior. Addressing urgent societal conflicts—such as resource distribution, climate protection, or global health—requires cooperation among stakeholders. The divergence between individual and collective interests—the social dilemma—poses major challenges to collaboration.

Using methods from game theory and empirical behavioral economics, Bettina Rockenbach investigates the prerequisites for successful cooperation. Her work contributes both to basic research and to the application of scientific findings to current issues.
Together with her often interdisciplinary teams, she has demonstrated the importance and interplay of trust, reciprocity, reputation, and social sanctioning mechanisms for stable cooperation. She has helped improve the understanding of market conditions for moral and socially responsible action and has successfully developed and implemented mechanisms for more sustainable use of natural resources.
