Coordination under threshold uncertainty in a public goods game

Dannenberg, Astrid; Löschel, Andreas; Paolacci, Gabriele; … - Dipartimento di Economia, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia - 2011

We explored experimentally how threshold uncertainty affects coordination success in a threshold public goods game. Whereas all groups succeeded in providing the public good when the exact value of the threshold was known, uncertainty was generally detrimental for the public good provision. The...

Network Architecture and Mutual Monitoring in Public Goods Experiments

Carpenter, Jeffrey P.; Kariv, Shachar; Schotter, Andrew - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010

Recent experiments show that public goods can be provided at high levels when mutual monitoring and costly punishment are allowed. All these experiments, however, study monitoring and punishment in a setting where all agents can monitor and punish each other (i.e., in a complete network). The...
