Leadership in a public goods : experiment with permanent and temporary members
Angelova, Vera; Güth, Werner; Kocher, Martin - 2019
We experimentally analyze leading by example in a public goods game with two permanent and two temporary group members. Our results show that leadership when permanent and temporary members interact leads to lower contributions than interaction without leadership.

The impact of naive advice and observational learning in beauty-contest games
Kocher, Martin; Sutter, Matthias; Wakolbinger, Florian - 2007
We study the impact of advice or observation on the depth of reasoning in an experimental beauty-contest game. Both sources of information trigger faster convergence to the equilibrium. Yet, we find that subjects who receive naive advice outperform uninformed subjects permanently, whereas...

Choosing the carrot or the stick? : endogenous institutional choice in social dilemma situations
Sutter, Matthias; Haigner, Stefan; Kocher, Martin - 2008

The team allocator game : allocation power in public goods games
Karakostas, Alexandros; Kocher, Martin; Matzat, Dominik; … - 2021
We analyze linear, weakest-link and best-shot public goods games in which a distinguished team member, the team allocator, has property rights over the benefits from the public good and can distribute them among team members. These team allocator games are intended to capture natural asymmetries...
