begin by reporting results from an experiment in which we investigate how cooperation in allocation games is affected by the … presence of Knightian uncertainty, a pervasive and yet unexplored characteristic of most public goods. Unexpectedly, we find … that adding uncertainty enhances cooperation. This surprising result serves as a test case for our mechanism: instead of …

Costly signalling of commitment to a group has been proposed as an explanation for participation in religion and ritual. But if the signal’s cost is too small, freeriders will send the signal and behave selfishly later. Effective signalling may then be prohibitively costly. If the average...

In repeated public good experiments, reciprocity helps to sustain high levels of cooperation. Can this be achieved by location choices in addition to making contributions? It is more realistic to rely on an intuitive neighborhood model for community members who interact repeatedly. In our...
