Playing with the Good Guys - A Public Good Game with Endogenous Group Formation

Brekke, Kjell Arne - 2013

In public good games, voluntary contributions tend to start off high and decline as the game is repeated. If high contributors are matched, however, contributions tend to stay high. We propose a formalization predicting that high contributors will self-select into groups committed to charitable...

Voting on Thresholds for Public Goods : Experimental Evidence

Rauchdobler, Julian; Sausgruber, Rupert; Tyran, Jean-Robert - 2021

voluntary provision of public goods. In our one-shot experiment, we find that coordination often fails and exogenously imposed … equilibrium into a coordination game with a set of Pareto-superior equilibria. Thresholds may therefore improve efficiency in the …, because voting may facilitate coordination due to signaling and commitment effects. We find that voting does have signaling …

Economic and social interaction takes place between individuals with heterogeneous characteristics. We investigate experimentally the emergence and informal enforcement of different contribution norms to a public good in homogeneous and different heterogeneous groups. When punishment is not...

Pareto Improvement through Unilateral Matching of Public Good Contributions : The Role of Commitment

Buchholz, Wolfgang - 2014

When providing public goods through voluntary contributions, a donor may introduce unilateral matching in order to reduce underprovision of the public good and thus inefficiency. By itself, however, matching benefits the donor but harms the recipient. We apply Cornes and Hartley's aggregative...

Public Goods Games and Psychological Utility : Theory and Evidence

Dhami, Sanjit - 2018

We consider a theoretical model of a public goods game that incorporates reciprocity, guilt-aversion/surprise-seeking, and the attribution of intentions behind these emotions. In order to test our predictions, we implement the ‘induced beliefs method' and a within-subjects design, using the...

Impure Prosocial Motivation in Charity Provision : Warm-Glow Charities and Implications for Public Funding

Scharf, Kimberley A. - 2013

We show that warm-glow motives in provision by competing suppliers can lead to inefficient charity selection. In these situations, discretionary donor choices can promote efficient charity selection even when provision outcomes are non-verifiable. Government funding arrangements, on the other...
