A note on the design of experiments involving public goods

Graves, Philip E. - 2010

Concern about potential free riding in the provision of public goods has a long history. More recently, experimental economists have turned their attention to the conditions under which free riding would be expected to occur. A model of free riding is provided here which demonstrates that...

The value of non-binding announcements in public goods experiments : some theory and experimental evidence

Berlemann, Michael; Dittrich, Marcus; Markwardt, Gunther - 2004

In this paper we present three simple theoretical models to explain the influence of the possibility to make non-binding announcements on investment behaviour in public goods settings. Our models build on the idea that voluntary contributions to the supply of a public good might be motivated by...

Belief Elicitation : Limiting Truth Telling with Information or Incentives

Danz, David - 2020

Belief elicitation is central to inference on economic decision making. The recently introduced Binarized Scoring Rule (BSR) is heralded for its robustness to individuals holding risk averse preferences and for its superior performance when eliciting beliefs. Consequently, the BSR has become the...

Spin Doctors : A Model and an Experimental Investigation of Vague Disclosure

Deversi, Marvin - 2018

such positive spin? We use a theoretical model and a laboratory experiment to study the strategic use of vagueness in a … interval that contains her actual type. Theory predicts that when facing a possibly naive receiver, the sender discloses an … interval that separates her from worse types but is upwardly vague. Senders in the experiment adopt this strategy and some …
