Focal points in multiple threshold public goods games : a single-project meta-analysis
Corazzini, Luca; Marini, Matteo M. - 2022
This paper is a single-project meta-analysis of four experiments that first model charitable giving as individual contributions to a multiplicity of competing threshold public goods. Given the centrality of the coordination dilemma as the number of recipients increases, we pool 15,936...
