Efficient Coordination in Weakest-Link Games
Riedl, Arno; Rohde, Ingrid M. T.; Strobel, Martin - CESifo - 2011
Existing experimental research on behavior in weakest-link games shows overwhelmingly the inability of people to coordinate on the efficient equilibrium, especially in larger groups. We hypothesize that people will be able to coordinate on efficient outcomes, provided they have sufficient...

Do Leaders Affect Ethical Conduct?
d'Adda, Giovanna; Darai, Donja; Weber, Roberto A. - CESifo - 2014
We study whether leaders influence the unethical conduct of followers. To avoid selection issues present in natural environments, we use a laboratory experiment in which we form groups and assign leadership roles at random. We study an environment in which groups compete, with dishonest behavior...

Cooperating, Fast and Slow : Testing the Social Heuristics Hypothesis
Stromland, Eirik - 2016
Heuristics Hypothesis (SHH) proposes that fast instinctive decision making promotes cooperation in social dilemmas. In this paper …, we conduct a novel time-pressure experiment to shed light on the cognitive underpinnings of cooperation. Although we find … finding that fast and intuitive decision making promotes cooperation. Given payoff comprehension, the SHH predicts behavior …

Growing Groups, Cooperation, and the Rate of Entry
Ranehill, Eva - 2014
We study the stability of voluntary cooperation in response to varying rates at which a group grows. Using a laboratory … cooperation. We then study the effect on cooperation of exogenously varying rates of entry. Slow growth yields higher cooperation … endogenous growth generally also produces high cooperation levels, growth stalls at intermediate group sizes, leaving potential …

A Note on the Design of Experiments Involving Public Goods
Graves, Philip E. - CESifo - 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...

Peer Effects and Social Preferences in Voluntary Cooperation
Thöni, Christian; Gaechter, Simon - CESifo - 2014
Social preferences and social influence effects (“peer effects”) are well documented, but little is known about how peers shape social preferences. Settings where social preferences matter are often situations where peer effects are likely too. In a gift-exchange experiment with independent...
