Experience in Public Goods Experiments
Conte, Anna; Levati, Vittoria; Montinari, Natalia - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2014

Social Preferences, Beliefs, and the Dynamics of Free Riding in Public Good Experiments
Fischbacher, Urs; Gaechter, Simon - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2009
One lingering puzzle is why voluntary contributions to public goods decline over time in experimental and real-world settings. We show that the decline of cooperation is driven by individual preferences for imperfect conditional cooperation. Many people’s desire to contribute less than others,...

HETEROGENEOUS SOCIAL PREFERENCES AND THE DYNAMICS OF FREE RIDING IN PUBLIC GOOD EXPERIMENTS
FISCHBACHER, URS; GAECHTER, SIMON - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2008
We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences and beliefs in voluntary cooperation and its decline. We elicit individuals’ cooperation preference in one experiment and use them – as well as subjects’ elicited beliefs – to make predictions about contributions to a public good...

Use of data on planned contributions and stated beliefs in the measurement of social preferences
Conte, Anna; Levati, M. - In: Theory and Decision 76 (2014) 2, pp. 201-223
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 plan data by a finite mixture approach and...

Voluntary contributions with imperfect information: An experimental study
Fiore, Annamaria; Levati, M. Vittoria; Morone, Andrea - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft - 2006
We use a two-person linear voluntary contribution mechanism with stochastic marginal benefits from the public good to examine the effect of imperfect information on contributions levels. To assess prior risk attitudes, individual valuations of several risky prospects are elicited via a...

Voluntary contributions with risky and uncertain marginal returns: the importance of the minimal value
Levati, M. Vittoria; Morone, Andrea - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 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...

The behavioral validity of the strategy method in public good experiments
Fischbacher, Urs; Gaechter, Simon - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2009
We compare the strategy method and the direct response method in public good experiments in a within-subject design. This comparison is interesting because the strategy method is frequently used to investigate preference heterogeneity. We find that people identified by the strategy method as...
