We are not alone : the impact of externalities on public good provision
Engel, Christoph; Rockenbach, Bettina - 2009
Providing public goods is hard, because providers are best off free-riding. Is it even harder if one group's public good is a public bad for another group or, conversely, gives the latter a windfall profit? We experimentally study public goods provision embedded in a social context and find that...
