To what do people contribute? : ongoing operations vs. sustainable supplies

Arbel, Yuval; Bar-El, Ronen; Schwarz, Mordechai E.; … - 2019

Attempts to curb illegal activity through regulation gets complicated when agents can adapt to circumvent enforcement. Economic theory suggests that conducting audits on a predictable schedule, and (counter-intuitively) at high frequency, can undermine the effectiveness of audits. We conduct a...

Play it again : partner choice, reputation building and learning in restarting, finitely-repeated dilemma games

Kamei, Kenju; Putterman, Louis G. - 2013

Previous research has shown that opportunities for two-sided partner choice in finitely repeated social dilemma games can promote cooperation through a combination of sorting and opportunistic signaling, with late period defections by selfish players causing an end-game decline. How such...

Norm enforcement in social dilemmas : an experiment with police commissioners

Dickinson, David L.; Masclet, David; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2014

Do individuals trained in law enforcement punish or reward differently from typical student subjects? We analyze norm enforcement behavior of newly appointed police commissioners in both a Voluntary Contribution Mechanism game and a Common Pool Resource game. Our experimental design includes...

Dai, Zhixin; Hogarth, Robin M.; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2014

We investigate the impact of various audit schemes on the future provision of public goods, when contributing less than the average of the group is sanctioned exogenously and the probability of an audit is unknown. We study how individuals update their beliefs about the probability of being...
