Recent research indicates that an interdisciplinary approach bridging the gap between social science and neuroscience is a key factor for obtaining a better understanding of individual decision making and social phenomena. This paper focuses on reciprocal fairness as a paradigmatic interdisciplinary case study. We discuss the recent behavioral evidence on reciprocity, identifying several unanswered questions. We then review the relevant neuroeconomic evidence about reciprocal preferences, mind reading and empathy

Abstract
Recent research indicates that an interdisciplinary approach bridging the gap between social science and neuroscience is a key factor for obtaining a better understanding of individual decision making and social phenomena. This paper focuses on reciprocal fairness as a paradigmatic interdisciplinary case study. We discuss the recent behavioral evidence on reciprocity, identifying several unanswered questions. We then review the relevant neuroeconomic evidence about reciprocal preferences, mind reading and empathy
