Experience in Public Goods Experiments
Conte, Anna; Levati, M. Vittoria; Montinari, Natalia - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
' experience and history in their experiments if they want to improve the external validity and replicability of their results. … whether behavior in public goods games is affected by experience (i.e., previous participation in social dilemma …-type experiments) and history (i.e., participation in experiments of a different class than the social dilemma). We have three main …

Use of data on planned contributions and stated beliefs in the measurement of social preferences
Conte, Anna; Levati, M. Vittoria - 2011
In a series of one-shot linear public goods game, we ask subjects to report their contributions, their contribution plans for the next period, and their first-order beliefs about their present and future partner. We estimate subjects' preferences from plans data by a infinite mixture approach...

Voluntary contributions with risky and uncertain marginal returns: The importance of the minimal value
Levati, Maria Vittoria; Morone, Andrea - 2009
Previous research indicates that risky and uncertain marginal returns from the public good significantly lower contributions. This paper presents experimental results illustrating that the effects of risk and uncertainty depend on the employed parameterization. Speci?cally, if the value of the...

Unravelling conditional cooperation: Reciprocity, inequity aversion, and anchoring in public goods provision
Cappelletti, Dominique; Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo - 2011
Extensive research on human cooperation in social dilemmas has shown that individuals condition their behaviour upon the behaviour of others. However, few attempts have been made to disentangle the motivations backing conditional cooperation. We try to assess the relative importance of three...

Are cooperators efficiency- or fair-minded?: evidence from a public goods experiment
Levati, Maria Vittoria; Ploner, Matteo - 2007
We use a two-person public goods experiment to distinguish between effciency and fairness as possible motivations for cooperative behavior. Asymmetric marginal per capita returns allow only the high-productivity player to increase group payoffs when contributing positive amounts. Asymmetric...
