Güth, Werner; Koukoumelis, Anastasios; Levati, M. Vittoria - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
We compare, on the basis of a procedurally fair "provision point" mechanism, bids for a public project from which some gain and some lose with bids for a less efficient public project from which all gain. In the main treatment, participants independently decide which one, if any, of the public...
