Previous research on public-good games revealed greater contributions by fast decision-makers than by slow decision … location of the equilibrium determines whether contributions are larger for fast decision-makers than for slow decision …-makers. Replicating previous results, we find that fast decision-makers give more than slow decision-makers when the equilibrium is below …

Asymmetric Enforcement of Cooperation in a Social Dilemma
Nikiforakis, Nikos - 2009
We use a public-good experiment to analyze behavior in a decentralized asymmetric punishment institution. The institution is asymmetric in the sense that players differ in the effectiveness of their punishment. At the aggregate level, we observe remarkable similarities between outcomes in...

We investigate the effect of a donation incentive tied to contributions to a public good when group members can decide on the size of the donation to be made. An up to 20 % donation of the public good was implemented either exogenously or endogenously by group members. In the Vote treatment,...

Guilt in voting and public good games
Rothenhäusler, Dominik; Schweizer, Nikolaus; Szech, Nora - 2016
This paper analyzes how moral costs affect individual support of morally difficult group decisions. We study a threshold public good game with moral costs. Motivated by recent empirical findings, we assume that these costs are heterogeneous and consist of three parts. The first one is a standard...
