Query: Competitions between prosocial exclusions and punishments in finite
  populations   Prosocial punishment has been proved to be a powerful mean to promote
cooperation. Recent studies have found that social exclusion, which indeed can
be regarded as a kind of punishment, can also support cooperation. However, if
prosocial punishment and exclusion are both present, it is still unclear which
strategy is more advantageous to curb free-riders. Here we first study the
direct competition between different types of punishment and exclusion. We find
that pool (peer) exclusion can always outperform pool (peer) punishment both in
the optional and in the compulsory public goods game, no matter whether
second-order sanctioning is considered or not. Furthermore, peer exclusion does
better than pool exclusion both in the optional and in the compulsory game, but
the situation is reversed in the presence of second-order exclusion. Finally,
we extend the competition among all possible sanctioning strategies and find
that peer exclusion can outperform all other strategies in the absence of
second-order exclusion and punishment, while pool exclusion prevails when
second-order sanctioning is possible. Our results demonstrate that exclusion is
a more powerful strategy than punishment for the resolution of social dilemmas.
