The ratchet effect in social dilemmas

Gallier, Carlo; Sturm, Bodo - 2020

In this paper, we investigate whether dynamic incentive schemes lead to a ratchet effect in a social dilemma. We test whether subjects strategically restrict their contribution levels at the beginning of a cumulative public goods game in order to avoid high obligations in the future and how this...

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...

Collective minimum contributions to counteract the ratchet effect in the voluntary provision of public goods

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...

International carbon markets are frequently propagated as an efficient instrument for reducing CO2 emissions. We argue that such markets, despite their desirable efficiency properties, might not be in the best interest of governments who are guided by strategic considerations in negotiations. We...
