Individual differences and contribution sequences in threshold public goods
Schüssler, Katharina; Schüßler, Michael; Mühlbauer, … - 2018
Following the notion that organizations often face public good dilemmas when collective action is needed, we use a real-time provision-point mechanism to experimentally explore the process of achieving cooperative equilibria. Specifically, besides exploring group outcomes, we identify individual...

The ratchet effect in social dilemmas
Gallier, Carlo; Sturm, Bodo - 2020

Alt, Marius; Gallier, Carlo; Kesternich, Martin; Sturm, Bodo - 2022 - This version: November, 2022
We experimentally test a theoretically promising amendment to the ratchet-up mechanism of the Paris Agreement. The ratchet-up mechanism prescribes that parties’ commitments to the global response to climate change cannot decrease over time and our results confirm that its effect is...
