This article examines the nature of human behavior in a nested socialdilemma referred to as the Spillover Game. Players are divided into twogroups with positive production interdependencies. Based on theoreticallyderived opportunistic, local, and global optima, our experimental...

Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der jährlich tagenden Vertragsstaatenkonferenzen gerät der Klimawandelimmer häufiger in den Fokus der internationalen Politik. Denn mittlerweilestreiten die wenigsten Wissenschaftler den Einfluss des Menschen, durch Ausstoß vonTreibhausgasen bei der Verbrennung von...

One-way communication has been found to substantially increasecontributions in linear voluntary contribution mechanisms. We confirmthe robustness of this result in the presence of income heterogeneity.

Viewing individual contributions as investments in emission reductionwe rely on the familiar linear public goods-game to set global reductiontargets which, if missed, imply that all payoffs are destroyed witha certain probability. Regulation by milestones does not only impose afinal reduction...

The fact that raising taxes can increase taxed labor supply through income effects is frequently used to justify greater public good provision than indicated by traditional, compensated analyses. We develop a model including multiple public goods and taxes and derive consistent measures of the...

In this paper, we study a voluntary contribution mechanism withone-way communication. The relevance of one person’s words is assessedby assigning exogeniously the role of the ‘communicator’ to onegroup member. Contrary to the view that the mutual exchange ofpromises is necessary for the...

This paper concerns optimal redistributive income taxation and provision of a public inputgood in a two-type model with a minimum wage policy implemented for the low-ability type,where firms may outsource part of the production process abroad, and where outsourcing issubstitutable for domestic...
