A Bayesian approach to determine the impact of institutions on the unemployment rate
Sachs, Andreas - 2010
Labor and product market regulations affect the unemployment rate of a country without doubt. Econometricians, however, have yet to establish an unequivocal significance of this impact. Model mis-specification, one of the main underlying problems, is overcome by adopting a Bayesian Model...

Collective minimum contributions to counteract the ratchet effect in the voluntary provision of public goods
Alt, Marius; Gallier, Carlo; Kesternich, Martin; Sturm, Bodo - 2022
We experimentally test a theoretically promising amendment to the ratchet-up mechanism of the Paris Agreement. The ratchet-up mechanism prescribes that parties' commitments to the global response to climate change cannot decrease over time and our results confirm that its effect is detrimental....

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...
