We run a public good experiment in the field and in the lab with (partly) the same subjects. The field experiment is a … true natural field experiment as subjects do not know that they are exposed to an experimental variation. We can show that … subjects' behavior in the classic lab public good experiment correlates with their behavior in the structurally comparable …

To investigate the external validity of laboratory results, we combine a public good experiment with three treatments … in a field experiment. One treatment offers the opportunity to free-ride, the other two are placebo treatments. We …

This paper proposes a simple two-stage mechanism to establish positive contributions to public goods in the absence of powerful institutions to provide the public good and to sanction free-riders. In this mechanism players commit to the public good by paying a deposit prior to the contribution...

In this paper we test the effect of descriptive features on initial strategic behavior in normal form games, where descriptive are all those features that can be modified without altering the (Nash) equilibrium structure of a game. We observe that our experimental subjects behave according to...
