Growth and inequality in public good games

Gächter, Simon; Mengel, Friederike; Tsakas, Elias; … - 2014

In a novel experimental design we study public good games with dynamic interdependencies. Each agent's income at the end of a period serves as her endowment in the following period. In this setting growth and inequality arise endogenously allowing us to address new questions regarding their...

Falk, Armin (contributor); Fischbacher, Urs (contributor); … - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]

Field evidence suggests that people belonging to the same group often behave similarly, i.e., behaviour exhibits social interaction effects. We conduct an experiment that avoids the identification problem present in the field. Our novel design feature is that each subject simultaneously is a...
