Confusion and Learning in the Public Goods Game
Bayer, Ralph-C; Sausgruber, Rupert; Renner, Elke - School of Economics, University of Adelaide - 2010
We test if confusion and learning could potentially explain all the decay of contributions in the repeated public goods … decline is more than twice as high in a standard public goods game. Furthermore, we find that simple learning cannot generate … cooperative behavior observed in public goods games is not a pure artefact of confusion and learning. …

Are we taxing ourselves?
Sausgruber, Rupert; Tyran, Jean-Robert - In: Journal of Public Economics 95 (2011) 1, pp. 164-176
We let consumers vote on tax regimes in experimental markets. We test if taxes on sellers are more popular than taxes on consumers, i.e. on voters themselves, even if taxes on sellers are inefficiently high. Taxes on sellers are more popular if voters underestimate the extent of tax-shifting in...

Tax Salience, Voting, and Deliberation
Sausgruber, Rupert; Tyran, Jean-Robert - 2009
Tax incentives can be more or less salient, i.e. noticeable or cognitively easy to process. Our hypothesis is that taxes on consumers are more salient to consumers than equivalent taxes on sellers because consumers underestimate the extent of tax shifting in the market. We show that tax salience...
