Essays on Individual Behavior in Social Dilemma Environments: An Experimental Analysis

Costly Voting: Theoretical and Experimental Results on Commons Dilemmas in Spatial Committee Games

Wilson, Rick K.; Herzberg, Roberta; Elliott, Mark - 1993

"Our focus in this paper is with the transaction costs inherent in most decision making settings. We specifically investigate an "institution free" collective choice mechanism that includes costs to calling votes. A set of models show that under low costs (i.e., where no cost-induced equilibrium...

Rethinking Local Commons Dilemmas: Lessons from Experimental Economics in the Field

Cardenas, Juan Camilo - 2002

"In particular, the academic debate over the best prediction about the behavior of people that use a common-pool resource (CPR), and the recommended policy approaches to the CPR dilemma have undergone a very interesting evolution throughout the last 3 decades of the pastcentury, since the...

The Use of Peer Sanctioning Mechanisms in an Asymmetric Commons Dilemma: An Experimental Study

Eisentraut, Renate - 2000

"In symmetric commons dilemmas, peer sanctioning, i.e. the possibility to gather information about the resource use of others and to sanction overuse, can be an effective structural solution in terms of resource conservation. However, most real world commons are characterized by structural...

The Dynamics of Continuing Conflict

Reuveny, Rafael; Maxwell, John W. - 2000

"There is a relatively small but growing literature in economics that examines conflictive activities using a framework in which agents allocate their resource endowments between wealth production and appropriation. To date, studies in this literature have employed a similar one period game...
