Coordination under threshold uncertainty in a public goods game
Dannenberg, Astrid; Löschel, Andreas; Paolacci, Gabriele; … - 2011
We explored experimentally how threshold uncertainty affects coordination success in a threshold public goods game. Whereas all groups succeeded in providing the public good when the exact value of the threshold was known, uncertainty was generally detrimental for the public good provision. The...

Fostering participation in digital public health interventions: The case of digital contact tracing
Rehse, Dominik; Tremöhlen, Felix - 2020
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has made all the more clear that public health is a public good. Public health interventions try to encourage contributions to this public good. Digital public health interventions are increasingly being used to complement traditional public health interventions. The...

On the performance of rule-based contribution schemes under endowment heterogeneity
Kesternich, Martin; Lange, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo - 2014
We experimentally test different rule-based contribution mechanisms in a repeated 4-player public goods game with endowment heterogeneity and compare them to a VCM, distinguishing between a random- and an effort-based allocation of endowments. We find that endowment heterogeneities limit the...

Improving voluntary public good provision by a non-governmental, endogenous matching mechanism: Experimental evidence
Reif, Christiane; Rübbelke, Dirk; Löschel, Andreas - 2014
Social norms can help to foster cooperation and to overcome the free-rider problem in private provision of public goods. This paper focuses on the enforcement of social norms by a self-introduced punishment and reward scheme. We analyse if subjects achieve to implement a norm-enforcement...

Democracy and compliance in public goods games
Gallier, Carlo - 2017
I investigate if, how, and why the effect of a contribution rule in a public goods game depends on how it is implemented: endogenously chosen or externally imposed. The rule prescribes full contributions to the public good backed by a nondeterrent sanction for those who do not comply. My...

Calibration of normalised CES production functions in dynamic models
Klump, Rainer; Saam, Marianne - 2006
Normalising CES production functions in the calibration of basic dynamic models allows to choose technology parameters in an economically plausible way. When variations in the elasticity of substitution are considered, normalisation is necessary in order to exclude arbitrary effects. As an...

Pollution externalities in a Schumpeterian growth model
Koesler, Simon - 2010
This paper extends a standard Schumpeterian growth model to include an environmental dimension. Thereby, it explicitly … of pollution on economic growth under the assumption that pollution intensities are related to technological progress …. Several conclusions emerge from the model. In equilibrium, the economy follows a balanced growth path. The effect of pollution …
