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. Cooperation tends to be higher under endogenously chosen …

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...
