Gunning for efficiency with third party enforcement in threshold public goods

Andreoni, James; Gee, Laura - In: Experimental Economics 18 (2015) 1, pp. 154-171

When public goods can only be provided when donations cross a minimum threshold, this creates an advantage in that Pareto Efficient outcomes can be Nash Equilibria. Despite this, experiments have shown that groups struggle to coordinate on one of the many efficient equilibria. We apply a...
