To examine the effect of group size on the stability of prosocial behavior we used standard one-shot public good experiments with two and four subjects, which were conducted repeatedly three times at intervals of one week. Partner and stranger treatments were employed to control for group...

The Dynamics of Dictator Behavior

Sass, Markus; Timme, Florian; Weimann, Joachim - 2021

Choosing between selfish and non-selfish behavior in real life is a repeated decision with varying time spans between repetitions. To learn more about the dynamics of altruistic behavior, we use repeated standard dictator experiments. The dynamics of prosocial behavior in these experiments...

Preferences-dependent learning in the Centipede game

Gamba, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2015

We study experimentally whether heterogeneity of behavior in the Centipede game can be interpreted as the result of a learning process of individuals with different preference types (more and less pro-social) and coarse information regarding the opponent's past behavior. We manipulate the...

Voluntary contributions to the establishment and operation of public goods : theory and experimental evidence

Arbel, Yuval; Bar-El, Ronen; Schwarz, Mordechai E.; … - 2014

We study the dynamics of the private provision of a public good that requires both capacity buildup and ongoing operating costs. We show that setting a time limit for the collection of contributions dedicated to capacity buildup minimizes the utility loss at the Nash equilibrium. We test the...

To what do people contribute? : ongoing operations vs. sustainable supplies
