Leadership and conditional cooperation in public good games : what difference does the game make?
Cartwright, Edward; Lovett, Denise - 2013
We investigate experimentally whether the extent of conditional cooperation in public good games depends on the marginal return to the public good and type of game. The marginal return is varied from 0.2 to 0.4 to 0.8. The "standard" game, in which three players contribute before a follower, is...

The evolution of morals under indirect reciprocity
Gaudeul, Alexia; Keser, Claudia; Müller, Stephan - 2019 - Revised version June 2019
We study the coexistence of strategies in the indirect reciprocity game where agents have access to second …-order discriminators which highlights the necessity for higher-order information to sustain cooperation through indirect reciprocity. In a … laboratory experiment, we find that more than 75% of subjects play strategies that belong to the predicted equilibrium set …

Can charitable appeals identify and exploit belief heterogeneity?
Drouvelis, Michalis; Marx, Benjamin M. - 2021
Charitable fundraisers frequently announce giving by others, and research shows that this can increase donations. However, this mechanism may not put information about peers to the most efficient use if it is costly to inform individuals who are indifferent to peer actions or causes some...

Social ties in a public good experiment
Dijk, Frans van; Sonnemans, Joep; Winden, Frans A. A. M. van - 2000
The formation of social ties is examined in an experimental study of voluntary public good provision. The experimental design consists of three parts. In the first part the value orientation (attitude to a generalized other) is measured. In the second part couples play a multi-period public good...

Alliances often provide a collective good among their allies. This article offers laboratory experimental evidence that the possibility to vote for the exclusion of non-cooperating allies, i.e. ostracism, can be a powerful negative referendum to increase allies’ contributions to the collective...

Nudging cooperation
Barron, Kai; Nurminen, Tuomas - 2018
This paper experimentally studies two simple interventions aimed at increasing public goods provision in settings in which accurate feedback about contributions is not available. The first intervention aims to exploit lying aversion by requiring subjects to send a non-verifiable ex post...
