We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences in voluntary cooperation. We elicit individuals' cooperation preference in one experiment and make a point prediction about the contribution to a repeated public good. This allows for a novel test as to whether there are "types" of...

Reuben, Ernesto (contributor); Riedl, Arno (contributor) - 2007

In public good provision, privileged groups enjoy the advantage that some of its members find it optimal to supply a positive amount of the public good. However, their inherent asymmetric nature may make the enforcement of cooperative behavior through informal sanctioning harder to accomplish....

Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu (contributor); … - 2007

This paper presents a model of legal migration from one source country to two host countries, both of which can control their levels of immigration. Because of complementarities between capital and labor, the return on capital is positively related to the level of immigration. Consequently, when...

On the origin of the family

Francesconi, Marco; Ghiglino, Christian; Perry, Motty - 2009

This paper presents an overlapping generations model to explain why humans live in families rather than in other pair groupings. Since most non-human species are not familial, something special must be behind the family. It is shown that the two necessary features that explain the origin of the...

Threat and punishment in public good experiments

Masclet, David; Noussair, Charles; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2010

Experimental studies of social dilemmas have shown that while the existence of a sanctioning institution improves cooperation within groups, it also has a detrimental impact on group earnings in the short run. Could the introduction of pre-play threats to punish have enough of a beneficial...

Conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion

Cubitt, Robin P.; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015

We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

Contribution games and the end-game effect : when things get real ; an experimental analysis

Bar-El, Ronen; Tobol, Yossi - 2013

We conduct a contribution game for a real public good and show that when the contributors value the real public good highly, they increase their contributions in each round. Thus, contrary to previous literature, free riding decreases over rounds and the end-game effect is reversed. -- public...
