Coordination Under Threshold Uncertainty in a Public Goods Game

Dannenberg, Astrid - 2012

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 …

Leadership in a weak-link game

Gillet, Joris; Cartwright, Edward; Van Vugt, Mark - 2009

We investigate, experimentally, the effects of leadership in a four player weak-link game. A weak-link game is a coordination game with multiple Pareto-ranked Nash equilibria. Because the more efficient equilibria involve a degree of strategic uncertainty groups typically find it difficult to...

Does category reporting increase donations to charity? : a signalling game approach

Cartwright, Edward; Patel, Amrish - 2009

Many charities report donations using categories. We question whether such category reporting increases donations in a signalling game where a donor is either generous or not generous. Conditions are derived under which category reporting will increase giving or decrease giving. Category...

Contributing or free-riding? : voluntary participation in a public good economy

Furusawa, Taiji; Konishi, Hideo - 2011

We consider a (pure) public goods provision problem with voluntary participation in a quasi-linear economy. We propose a new hybrid solution concept, the free-riding-proof core (FRP-Core), which endogenously determines a contribution group, public goods provision level, and how to share the...

On the private provision of public goods on networks

Allouch, Nizar - 2012

This paper analyzes the private provision of public goods where consumers interact within a fixed network structure and may benefit only from their direct neighbors' provisions. We present a proof for existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium with general best-reply functions. Our...

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...

Implications of inequality aversion for international climate policy

Vogt, Carla; Sturm, Bodo - 2011

In this paper, we extend the Fehr and Schmidt model of inequality aversion to a situation where the players differ with respect to their benefits and costs from contributions to a non-linear public good. A necessary condition for contributing to the public good is that the players’ benefit...

Bayesian repeated games and reputations

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...
