Social interaction effects in the laboratory and society: Conformism and reciprocity in public good provision

Bardsley, Nicholas; Sausgruber, Rupert - 2003

People contribute more to public goods, the more others give ('crowding-in'). We investigate two possible causes of crowding-in: reciprocity, the usual explanation, and conformism, a neglected alternative. The issue is important since conformism has more scope to bring about endogenous social...

Visser, Martine - Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit … - 2013

We examine behavioural models involved in the provision of public goods when income inequality exists within groups. Our sample consists of individuals from urban and rural South African fishing communities. We find that behaviour observed in unequal groups does not accord with models of...

A Note on the Design of Experiments Involving Public Goods

Graves, Philip E. - 2009

Concern about potential free riding in the provision of public goods has a long history. More recently, experimental economists have turned their attention to the conditions under which free riding would be expected to occur. A model of free riding is provided here which demonstrates that...

We find that cooperation and efficiency increases … explanation for why an imposed redistribution rule, as proposed by Falkinger (1996), is capable of sustaining cooperation in the …
