Krieger, Tommy - 2020
We compile biographical information on more than 5,000 Prussian politicians and exploit newly digitized administrative data to examine whether landowning and landless elites differ in the extent to which they support health infrastructure projects. Using exogenous variation in soil texture, we...

Inter-charity competition under spatial differentiation: Sorting, crowding, and spillovers
Gallier, Carlo; Goeschl, Timo; Kesternich, Martin; … - 2019
We study spatially differentiated competition between charities by partnering with two foodbanks in two neighboring cities to conduct a field experiment with roughly 350 donation appeals. We induce spatial differentiation by varying the observability of charities' location such that each donor...

The choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems: A survey of experimental research
Dannenberg, Astrid; Gallier, Carlo - 2019
A growing experimental literature studies the endogenous choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems arising … of institutional choice. Almost all institutions improve cooperation if they are implemented, but they are not always … identified as important determinants of institutional choice.

Voting for burden sharing rules in public goods games
Gallier, Carlo; Kesternich, Martin; Sturm, Bodo - 2014
In this experiment, we endogenize the choice of which contribution scheme is implemented in a public goods game. We investigate three rule-based contribution schemes. In a first step, players agree on a common group provision level using the principle of the smallest common denominator....

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...

The impact of burden sharing rules on the voluntary provision of public goods
Kesternich, Martin; Lange, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo - 2012
We investigate how burden sharing rules may impact the voluntary provision of a public good which generates heterogeneous benefits to agents. We compare different rule-based contribution schemes that are based on the principle of the smallest common denominator: all agents can suggest a minimum...
