Public goods and voting on formal sanction schemes

Putterman, Louis; Tyran, Jean-Robert; Kamei, Kenju - In: Journal of Public Economics 95 (2011) 9, pp. 1213-1222

The burgeoning literature on the use of sanctions to support the provision of public goods has largely neglected the use of formal or centralized sanctions. We let subjects playing a linear public goods game vote on the parameters of a formal sanction scheme capable of either resolving or...

State or nature? Endogenous formal versus informal sanctions in the voluntary provision of public goods

Kamei, Kenju; Putterman, Louis; Tyran, Jean-Robert - In: Experimental Economics 18 (2015) 1, pp. 38-65

We investigate the endogenous formation of sanctioning institutions supposed to improve efficiency in the voluntary provision of public goods. Our paper parallels Markussen et al. (Rev Econ Stud 81:301–324, <CitationRef CitationID="CR24">2014</CitationRef>) in that our experimental subjects vote over formal versus informal sanctions, but...</citationref>

Competition Fosters Trust

Huck, Steffen; Ruchala, Gabriele K.; Tyran, Jean-Robert - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

We study the effects of reputation and competition in a stylized market for experience goods. If interaction is anonymous, such markets perform poorly: sellers are not trustworthy, and buyers do not trust sellers. If sellers are identifiable and can, hence, build a reputation, efficiency...

Are we taxing ourselves?

Sausgruber, Rupert; Tyran, Jean-Robert - In: Journal of Public Economics 95 (2011) 1, pp. 164-176

We let consumers vote on tax regimes in experimental markets. We test if taxes on sellers are more popular than taxes on consumers, i.e. on voters themselves, even if taxes on sellers are inefficiently high. Taxes on sellers are more popular if voters underestimate the extent of tax-shifting in...
