We Are Not Alone: The Impact of Externalities on Public Good Provision
Engel, Christoph; Rockenbach, Bettina - Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von … - 2009
Public good provision is often local and also affects bystanders. Is provision harder if contributions harm bystanders, and is provision easier if outsiders gain a windfall profit? In an experiment we observe that both positive and negative externalities reduce provision levels whenever actors...

Give Everybody a Voice! The Power of Voting in a Public Goods Experiment with Externalities
Engel, Christoph; Rockenbach, Bettina - Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von … - 2014
We study the effect of voting when insiders’ public goods provision may affect passive outsiders. Without voting insiders’ contributions do not differ, regardless of whether outsiders are positively or negatively affected or even unaffected. Voting on the recommended contribution level...

Integrating machine behavior into human subject experiments: A user-friendly toolkit and illustrations
Engel, Christoph; Grossmann, Max R. P.; Ockenfels, Axel - 2024
Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to profoundly transform and enrich experimental economic research. We propose a new software framework, "alter_ego", which makes it easy to design experiments between LLMs and to integrate LLMs into oTreebased experiments with human subjects. Our...
