We examine communication in a 2-player sequential public good game in which the leader has private information about … deciding whether or not to contribute. Without communication, the unique equilibrium is fully efficient. We study whether the … introduction of communication about returns can destroy efficiency. Communication can be precise (about the exact return), or vague …

Previous research indicates that risky and uncertain marginal returns from the public good significantly lower contributions. This paper presents experimental results illustrating that the effects of risk and uncertainty depend on the employed parameterization. Specifically, if the value of the...

This paper provides a new way to identify conditional cooperation in a real-time version of the standard voluntary contribution mechanism. Our approach avoids most drawbacks of the traditional procedures because it relies on endogenous cycle lengths, which are defined by the number of...
