Public goods provision with rent-extracting administrators
Cagala, Tobias; Glogowsky, Ulrich; Grimm, Veronika; … - 2017
This paper studies public goods provision in an experiment in which contributors repeatedly interact with rent-extracting administrators. Our main result is that the presence of an administrator reduces contributions but only because rent extraction lowers the MPCR. Analysing the dynamic...

relationship is influenced by the quality of local institutions, as proxied by corruption. We use representative data from a large … corruption environments. We find that corruption leads to more pessimistic beliefs about others' contributions in heterogeneous … groups, and this is an important mechanism explaining our results.

Where Are the Real Bottlenecks? Evidence from 20,000 Firms in 60 Countries about the Shadow Costs of Constraints to Firm Performance
Carlin, Wendy; Schaffer, Mark; Seabright, Paul - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
We use data from over 20,000 firms in 60 countries to identify constraints on the growth of firms. We interpret managers’ answers to survey questions on the extent to which various aspects of their external environment inhibit the performance of their firm as measuring the shadow cost of...

Where are the Real Bottlenecks? A Lagrangian Approach to Identifying Constraints on Growth from Subjective Survey Data
Carlin, Wendy; Schaffer, Mark; Seabright, Paul - Centre for Economic Reform and Transformation, School … - 2006
We use firm-level survey data from over 20,000 firms in about 60 countries to identify constraints on the growth of firms. We develop a Lagrangian approach and measure the cost of different constraints by using managers' answers to survey questions on what aspects of their external environment...
