Decisions on extending group membership : evidence from a public good experiment
Grund, Christian; Harbring, Christine; Thommes, Kirsten; … - In: Games 11 (2020) 4/61, pp. 1-27
We experimentally compare the consequences for group cooperation of two decision mechanisms involving the extension of group membership. We analyze an exogenous decision (random draw) and an endogenous decision (made by a particular group member) mechanism to extend a temporary agent's group...
