Promoting cooperation : the distribution of reward and punishment power
Nosenzo, Daniele; Sefton, Martin - 2012
Recent work in experimental economics on the effectiveness of rewards and punishments for promoting cooperation mainly examines decentralized incentive systems where all group members can reward and/or punish one another. Many self-organizing groups and societies, however, concentrate the power...

Growing groups, cooperation, and the rate of entry
Ranehill, Eva; Schneider, Frédéric; Weber, Roberto A. - 2013 - This Version: May 7, 2013
We study the stability of voluntary cooperation in response to varying group growth rates. Using a laboratory public-good game, we construct a situation where increasing group size yields potential efficiency gains, but only with sustained cooperation. We then study the effect of exogenously...

Growing groups, cooperation, and the rate of entry
Ranehill, Eva; Schneider, Frédéric; Weber, Roberto A. - 2014
We study the stability of voluntary cooperation in response to varying rates at which a group grows. Using a laboratory public-good game with voluntary contributions and economies of scale, we construct a situation in which expanding a group's size yields potential efficiency gains, but only if...

Framing and feedback in social dilemmas with partners and strangers
Cox, Caleb A.; Stoddard, Brock - In: Games 6 (2015) 4, pp. 394-412
We study framing effects in repeated social dilemmas by comparing payoff-equivalent Give- and Take-framed public goods games under varying matching mechanisms (Partners or Strangers) and levels of feedback (Aggregate or Individual). In the Give-framed game, players contribute to a public good,...

Tipping versus cooperating to supply a public good
Barrett, Scott; Dannenberg, Astrid - 2015
In some important multi-player situations, such as efforts to supply a global public good, players can choose the game they want to play. In this paper we conduct an experimental test of the decision to choose between a “tipping” game, in which every player wants to contribute to the public...

The team allocator game : allocation power in public goods games
Karakostas, Alexandros; Kocher, Martin; Matzat, Dominik; … - 2021
We analyze linear, weakest-link and best-shot public goods games in which a distinguished team member, the team allocator, has property rights over the benefits from the public good and can distribute them among team members. These team allocator games are intended to capture natural asymmetries...

Social framing effects in leadership : preferences or beliefs?
Cartwright, Edward; Drouvelis, Michalis - 2020
We experimentally study the impact of framing effects in a repeated sequential social dilemma game. Our between-subjects design consists of two group level ("Wall Street" vs. "Community") and two individual level ("First (Second) Movers" vs. "Leaders (Followers)") frames. We find that average...
