  Bilingual Province – Evidence from Primary School Children in Merano</stro
 ng></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abstract:</p><p style="text-align: j
 ustify;">Cooperation is a fundamental cornerstone for the well-functioning 
 of human societies. A potential downside of it is that cooperation within g
 roups may co-evolve with out-group discrimination. This is particularly rel
 evant when two groups with distinctly different characteristics (e.g., with
  respect to race, religion, or language) live closely together, because und
 er such circumstances in-group cohesion may fuel segregation and thus tensi
 ons between groups. Here we present experimental evidence from a bilingual 
 city in Northern Italy on whether the language spoken by a partner in a pri
 soner’s dilemma game affects behavior. We examine how discrimination based 
 on language develops in practically all six- to eleven-year old primary sch
 ool children in the city. We find that cooperation generally increases with
  age, but that the gap between cooperation among in-group members and coope
 ration towards children speaking another language is considerable. This gap
  is due to both, in-group favoritism and language groups discrimination.</p
