DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Cooperation and Discrimination in a Bilingual Province – Evidence from Prim
 ary School Children in Merano\nAbstract:\nCooperation is a fundamental corn
 erstone for the well-functioning of human societies. A potential downside o
 f it is that cooperation within groups may co-evolve with out-group discrim
 ination. This is particularly relevant when two groups with distinctly diff
 erent characteristics (e.g., with respect to race, religion, or language) l
 ive closely together, because under such circumstances in-group cohesion ma
 y fuel segregation and thus tensions between groups. Here we present experi
 mental evidence from a bilingual city in Northern Italy on whether the lang
 uage spoken by a partner in a prisoner’s dilemma game affects behavior. We 
 examine how discrimination based on language develops in practically all si
 x- to eleven-year old primary school children in the city. We find that coo
 peration generally increases with age, but that the gap between cooperation
  among in-group members and cooperation towards children speaking another l
 anguage is considerable. This gap is due to both, in-group favoritism and l
 anguage groups discrimination.\n
