Coordination Under Threshold Uncertainty in a Public Goods Game
Dannenberg, Astrid - 2011
We explored experimentally how threshold uncertainty affects coordination success in a threshold public goods game …. Whereas all groups succeeded in providing the public good when the exact value of the threshold was known, uncertainty was … generally detrimental for the public good provision. The negative effect of threshold uncertainty was particularly severe when …

Explaining Individual Contributions in Public Goods Games Using (only) Reciprocity and Overoptimism
Breuer, Wolfgang - 2014
We explain contributions in public goods games with the help of the reciprocity model of Dufwenberg and Kirchsteiger (2004) by applying some plausible modifications: Most importantly, we assume that subjects overestimate the kindness of their group members. In combination with the finding that...

It's Your Turn : Experiments with Three-Player Public Good Games
Riyanto, Yohanes E. - 2017
repeated threshold public good games without communication. Individuals can each make a discrete contribution. If the number of … contributors is at least equal to the threshold, a public benefit accrues to all group members. Players take turns to provide the …

Voluntary Cooperation in Local Public Goods Provision : An Experimental Study
Angelovski, Andrej - 2016
In a circular neighborhood with each member having a left and a right neighbor, individuals choose two contribution levels, one each for the public good shared with the left, respectively right, neighbor. This allows for general free riders, who do not contribute at all, and general cooperators,...

Group Size Effects and Critical Mass in Public Goods Games
Pereda, María - 2019
Understanding whether the size of the interacting group has an effect on cooperative behavior has been a major topic of debate since the seminal works on cooperation in the 1960s. Half a century later, scholars have yet to reach a consensus, with some arguing that cooperation is harder in larger...

Asymmetric Volunteer's Dilemma Game : Theory and Experiment
Kawagoe, Toshiji - 2019
This study explores asymmetric volunteers' dilemma (VOD) games where costs for volunteering is different among players. Diekmann (1993) conjectures that an equilibrium, in which a player with less costs contributes, is more likely to be played if it is risk dominant. We re-examined this...

Conditional Cooperation : Type Stability Across Games
Eichenseer, Michael - 2019
To classify cooperation types, a sequential prisoner's dilemma and a one-shot public goods game with strategy method are convenient experimental setups. We explore the within subject stability of cooperation preferences in these two games. Our results suggest that subjects classified as...

Group Size and Collective Action in a Binary Contribution Game
Nöldeke, Georg - 2020
fixed amount of the good is provided if and only if the number of contributors reaches an exogenous threshold. The threshold … is on the case in which the threshold is larger than one, so that teamwork is required to produce the public good. We …
