-specific information in the group effort levels chosen by players in an experimental CPR game. We examine two basic treatments, one with … incomplete information and the other with complete information. In the former, subjects are informed only about their own … provision of subject-specific performance information (i.e. individual’s effort levels and payoffs) improve or worsen the …
