Human cooperation is an evolutionary mystery. People tend to cooperate frequently with genetically unrelated strangers even when reputation gains are small or absent. Religion and/or faith could explain this cooperative behaviour. Therefore, this paper tried to find whether religious and/or...

We present a model of public good provision with a distributor. Our main result describes a symmetric mixed-strategy equilibrium, where all agents contribute to a common fund with probability p and the distributor provides either a particular amount of public goods or nothing. A corollary of...

We model a dynamic public good contribution game, where players are (naturally) formed into groups. The groups are exogenously placed in a sequence, with limited information available to players about their groups’ position in the sequence. Contribution decisions are made by players...
