Provision of multilevel public goods through positive externalities: Experimental evidence
Güth, Werner; Sääksvuori, Lauri - 2012
The provision of public goods regularly embodies interrelated spheres of influence on multiple scales. This article examines the nature of human behavior in a multilevel social dilemma game with positive provision externalities to local and global scales. We report experimental results showing...
