Social costs of inequality : heterogeneous endowments in public-good experiments

Keser, Claudia; Markstädter, Andreas; Schmidt, Martin B.; … - 2014

We compare voluntary contributions to the financing of a public good in a symmetric setting to those in asymmetric settings, in which four players have different, randomly allocated endowments. We observe that a weak asymmetry in the endowment distribution leads to the same contribution level as...

Growth and inequality in public good games

Gächter, Simon; Mengel, Friederike; Tsakas, Elias; … - 2014

In a novel experimental design we study public good games with dynamic interdependencies. Each agent's income at the end of a period serves as her endowment in the following period. In this setting growth and inequality arise endogenously allowing us to address new questions regarding their...

Leadership in Dynamic Public Good Provision : Endogenous Growth and Inequality

Eichenseer, Michael - 2019

We explore how leadership affects a dynamic public goods game. Using an experimental setting where cooperation gains can be reinvested, our findings suggest that leadership has a positive impact on final wealth of the groups. Additionally, we also observe that leadership has a positive effect on...

Existence and warr neutrality for matching equilibria in a public good economy : an aggregative game approach

Buchholz, Wolfgang; Cornes, Richard; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2009

Using the aggregative game approach as developed by Cornes and Hartley (2003, 2007) this paper analyzes the conditions under which matching mechanisms in a public good economy lead to interior matching equilibria in which all agents make strictly positive flat contributions to the public good....

Galiani, Sebastian - 2016

Two types of political conflicts of interest pervade many of the world's societies. A horizontal conflict of interest arises when different constituencies support different policies, while a vertical conflict of interest emerges when those in charge of running the government acquire and retain...

the causal relationship running from inequality to instability. Specifically, we conduct a laboratory experiment. In the … experiment, two groups are interacting with each other repeatedly and have an incentive to cooperate even though cooperation … comes at the cost of inter-group inequality. In the second half of the experiment, we vary the extent of the inequality …
