Reducing strategic uncertainty increases group protection in collective risk social dilemmas
Steimanis, Ivo; Struwe, Natalie; Benda, Julian; Blanco, … - 2025 - This version: February 11, 2025
Interrelated global crises - climate change, pandemics, loss of ecosystem services and biodiversity - pose risks that demand collective solutions. Uncertainty about others' behavior, coupled with the dependence on some to take collective efforts to mitigate risks for all (e.g. conservation of...

Coordination Under Threshold Uncertainty in a Public Goods Game
Dannenberg, Astrid - 2011
We explored experimentally how threshold uncertainty affects coordination success in a threshold public goods game. Whereas all groups succeeded in providing the public good when the exact value of the threshold was known, uncertainty was generally detrimental for the public good provision. The...

Multicandidate elections : aggregate uncertainty in the laboratory
Bouton, Laurent; Castanheira, Micael; Llorente-Saguer, Aniol - 2015
The rational-voter model is often criticized on the grounds that two of its central predictions (the paradox of voting and Duverger's Law) are at odds with reality. Recent theoretical advances suggest that these empirically unsound predictions might be an artifact of an (arguably unrealistic)...

Externalities in appropriation : responses to probabilistic losses
Blanco, Esther; Haller, Tobias; Walker, James - 2014
We examine behavior in one-shot appropriation games with deterministic and probabilistic degradation externalities, where the marginal net benefit from appropriation is endogenous, dependent on individuals' expectations of group appropriation. The experimental design involves a menu of games...
