This repository contains the experimental data underlying the two studies reported in "Propagation and Deterrence of Unpunishable Collusion in Networks." Study 1 is an online experiment (Credamo platform) in which human participants interact with programmed bot opponents in a controlled, no-real-time-communication setting. Study 2 is an offline laboratory experiment (oTree) in which participants interact in real time within seven-person groups, with free-text communication and endogenous invitation decisions. Full descriptions of the experimental design, procedures, and variable construction are provided in Sections 5 and 6 of the manuscript and in Online Appendix Sections OA1–OA4.
