We report the results of laboratory experiments on rent-seeking contests with endogenous participation. Theory predicts that (a) contest entry and rent-seeking expenditures increase with the size of the prize; and (b) earnings are equalized between the contest and the outside option. While the...

In public goods experiments, stochastic choice, censoring, and motivational heterogeneity allow experimentalists to differ over the extent of unselfishness, and whether it is reciprocal or altruistic. These problems are addressed econometrically by estimating a finite mixture model to isolate...

We study the interplay between leading-by-example and group identity in a public goods game experiment. A common … identity between the leader and her followers is beneficial for cooperation: average contributions are more than 30% higher … identities. We find no effect on cooperation when only part of the followers share the leader’s identity, or when followers share …

We study the effect of group size on cooperation in voluntary contribution mechanism games. As in previous experiments … find that cooperation is highest of all in two-person groups. The findings in the high MPCR condition are consistent with … those from n-person prisoner’s dilemma and oligopoly experiments that suggest it is more difficult to sustain cooperation …
