Group Size Effects and Critical Mass in Public Goods Games

Pereda, María - 2019

Understanding whether the size of the interacting group has an effect on cooperative behavior has been a major topic of debate since the seminal works on cooperation in the 1960s. Half a century later, scholars have yet to reach a consensus, with some arguing that cooperation is harder in larger...

Asymmetric Volunteer's Dilemma Game : Theory and Experiment

Kawagoe, Toshiji - 2019

This study explores asymmetric volunteers' dilemma (VOD) games where costs for volunteering is different among players. Diekmann (1993) conjectures that an equilibrium, in which a player with less costs contributes, is more likely to be played if it is risk dominant. We re-examined this...

Conditional Cooperation : Type Stability Across Games

Eichenseer, Michael - 2019

To classify cooperation types, a sequential prisoner's dilemma and a one-shot public goods game with strategy method are convenient experimental setups. We explore the within subject stability of cooperation preferences in these two games. Our results suggest that subjects classified as...

Network Monitoring and Punishment in Public Goods Games

Boosey, Luke - 2014

We report experimental findings on the impact of network structure on decentralized monitoring and punishment in public goods games. In the environments we study, individuals can only directly monitor and punish their immediate neighbors in an exogenously determined network. We examine...

Conditional cooperation : type stability across games

Eichenseer, Michael; Moser, Johannes - 2019

In this paper, we use an experimental setup to classify cooperation types using a sequential prisoner's dilemma and a one shot sequential public goods game. In these two games, we examine the within subject stability of cooperation preferences. Our results suggest that subjects classified as...

Public statements of good conduct promote pro-social behavior

Koessler, Ann-Kathrin; Page, Lionel; Dulleck, Uwe - 2018

goods experiment. Using a 'between-within subjects design' we identify three channels by which non-enforceable statements of …-oriented participants are more likely in the experiment to make a public statement. Second, in a commitment effect, participants who make a … statements of good conduct are in our experiment more effective over time. …

Identification of individuals and groups in a public goods experiment

Christens, Sven; Dannenberg, Astrid; Sachs, Florian - 2017

Revealing the identities of contributors has been shown to increase cooperation in public goods games. In this paper we experimentally investigate whether this finding holds true when decisions are made by groups rather than individuals. We distinguish between groups in which members can discuss...

The demand for punishment to promote cooperation among like-minded people

Bühren, Christoph; Dannenberg, Astrid - 2020

We use an experiment to test the hypothesis that groups consisting of like-minded cooperators are able to cooperate …
