The provision point mechanism with reward money
Zubrickas, Robertas - 2013
We introduce reward money into the provision point mechanism with refunds. Reward money is distributed among the … good induce sufficient contributions. Importantly, the mechanism not only ensures allocative efficiency but also … proportion of their private valuations. The advantages of the mechanism are also demonstrated for collective action problems …

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...

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.

On public good provision mechanisms with dominant strategies and balanced budget
Kuzmics, Christoph; Steg, Jan-Henrik - 2016
Consider a mechanism for the binary public good provision problem that is dominant strategy incentive compatible (DSIC …), ex-post individually rational (EPIR), and ex-post budget balanced (EPBB). Suppose this mechanism has the additional … property that the utility from participating in the mechanism to the lowest types is zero for all agents. Such a mechanism must …

It's Your Turn : Experiments with Three-Player Public Good Games
Riyanto, Yohanes E. - 2017
We report results from experiments designed to investigate the prevalence of turn-taking in three-person finitely 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...

Free Riding and Workplace Democracy – Heterogeneous Task Preferences and Sorting
Kamei, Kenju - 2020
A novel laboratory experiment is used to show that mismatching between task preferences and task assignment undermines worker productivity and leads to free riding in teams. We elicit task preferences from all workers. Workers' endogenous sorting into tasks significantly improves productivity...

Cooperation in Social Dilemmas Through Position Uncertainty
Gallice, Andrea - 2019
We present a natural environment that sustains full cooperation in one-shot social dilemmas among a finite number of self-interested agents. Players sequentially decide whether to contribute to a public good. They do not know their position in the sequence, but observe the actions of some...
