We are not alone : the impact of externalities on public good provision
Engel, Christoph; Rockenbach, Bettina - 2009
Providing public goods is hard, because providers are best off free-riding. Is it even harder if one group's public good is a public bad for another group or, conversely, gives the latter a windfall profit? We experimentally study public goods provision embedded in a social context and find that...

Give Everybody a Voice! The Power of Voting in a Public Goods Experiment with Externalities

When social norms and self-image conflict : a public good experiment with social comparison feedback
Kandul, Serhiy; Lanz, Bruno - 2018 - This version: August 2018
Social comparison feedback, i.e. informing people about the behavior of others, has been shown to influence prosocial behavior in many domains, including tax compliance and energy conservation. We argue that heterogeneity in people's (un)willingness to consult the corresponding information...
