The long-term impact of matching and rebate subsidies when public goods are impure: Field experimental evidence from the carbon offsetting market
Kesternich, Martin; Löschel, Andreas; Römer, Daniel - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
In this paper, we investigate both short- and long-term impacts of financial stimuli on public goods provision when contributions are tied to individual harm-related behavior. We conduct a large-scaled field experiment to examine voluntary contributions to a carbon offsetting program during the...

Voting for burden sharing rules in public goods games
Gallier, Carlo; Kesternich, Martin; Sturm, Bodo - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
In this experiment, we endogenize the choice of which contribution scheme is implemented in a public goods game. We investigate three rule-based contribution schemes. In a first step, players agree on a common group provision level using the principle of the smallest common denominator....

The impact of burden sharing rules on the voluntary provision of public goods
Kesternich, Martin; Lange, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012
We investigate how burden sharing rules may impact the voluntary provision of a public good which generates heterogeneous benefits to agents. We compare different rule-based contribution schemes that are based on the principle of the smallest common denominator: all agents can suggest a minimum...

On the formation of coalitions to provide public goods: Experimental evidence from the lab
Dannenberg, Astrid; Lange, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010
The provision of public goods often relies on voluntary contributions and cooperation. While most of the experimental literature focuses on individual contributions, many real-world problems involve the formation of institutions among subgroups (coalitions) of players. International agreements...

Inequity Aversion and Individual Behavior in Public Good Games: An Experimental Investigation
Dannenberg, Astrid; Riechmann, Thomas; Sturm, Bodo; … - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2007
We present a simple two-steps procedure for a within-subject test of the inequity aversion model of Fehr and Schmidt (1999). In the first step, subjects played modified ultimatum and dictator games and were classified according to their preferences. In the second step, subjects with specific...
