Forges, Françoise; Salomon, Antoine - 2014

Under appropriate assumptions (private values and uniform punishments), the Nash equilibria of a Bayesian repeated game without discounting are payoff-equivalent to tractable, completely revealing, equilibria and can be achieved as interim cooperative solutions of the initial Bayesian game. This...

Between-group conflict and other-regarding preferences in nested social dilemmas

Böhm, Robert; Bornstein, Gary; Köppel, Hannes - 2014

We investigate experimentally the underlying motivations and individual differences with regard to the participation in between-group conflict in nested social dilemmas. In our nested social dilemmas, the collective is divided into two groups, and individuals allocate tokens between a private, a...

A full characterization of all deterministic dominant strategy incentive compatible, ex-post individually rational, and ex-post budget balanced direct mechanisms in the public good...

Kuzmics, Christoph - 2014

In this note I give a full characterization of all deterministic direct mechanisms in the public good provision problem with independent private values that are dominant strategy incentive compatible, ex-post individually rational, and ex-post budget balanced.

Not efficient but payoff dominant : experimental investigations of equilibrium play in binary threshold public good games

Bolle, Friedel; Spiller, Jörg - 2016

In Binary Threshold Public Good (BTPG) games players contribute or not to the production of a public good which is …

On public good provision mechanisms with dominant strategies and balanced budget

Kuzmics, Christoph; Steg, Jan-Henrik - 2016

be of a threshold form, in which there is a fixed threshold for each agent such that the public good is not provided if … there is an agent with a value below her threshold and is provided if all agents' values exceed their respective threshold …. There are mechanism that are DSIC, EPIR, and EPBB that are not of the threshold form. Mechanisms that maximize welfare …

Evolution of consistent conjectures in semi-aggregative representation of games, with applications to public good games and contests

Possajennikov, Alexandre - 2016

In a semi-aggregative representation of a game, the payoff of a player depends on a player's own strategy and on a personalized aggregate of all players' strategies. Suppose that each player has a conjecture about the reaction of the personalized aggregate to a change in the player's own...

The social costs of responsibility

Humphrey, Steven J.; Renner, Elke - 2011

We use an experimental lottery choice task and public goods game to examine if responsibility for the financial welfare of others affects decisionmaking behaviour in two different types of decision environments. We find no evidence that responsibility affects individual risk preferences....

Use of data on planned contributions and stated beliefs in the measurement of social preferences

Conte, Anna; Levati, M. Vittoria - 2011

In a series of one-shot linear public goods game, we ask subjects to report their contributions, their contribution plans for the next period, and their first-order beliefs about their present and future partner. We estimate subjects' preferences from plans data by a infinite mixture approach...

Weak Moral Motivation Leads to the Decline of Voluntary Contributions

Figuieres, Charles - 2011

We develop a model that accounts for the decay of the average contribution observed in experiments on voluntary contributions to a public good. The novel idea is that people's moral motivation is "weak." Their judgment about the right contribution depends on observed contributions by group...
