We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences in voluntary cooperation. We elicit individuals’ cooperation … preference in one experiment and make a point prediction about the contribution to a repeated public good. This allows for a … predicted contributions, because they contribute in the first half of the experiment. We also show that the interaction of …
