Conditioning on what? Heterogeneous contributions and conditional cooperation
Hartig, Björn; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Kölle, Felix - 2014
We experimentally investigate how different information about others' individual contributions affects conditional … cooperators' willingness to cooperate in a one-shot linear public goods game. We find that when information about individual … contributions is provided, contributions are generally higher than when only average information is available. This effect is …

Are dyads conditionally cooperative? : evidence from a public goods experiment
Morone, Andrea; Temerario, Tiziana - 2016
We analysed dyads strategies in one-shot public goods game. By means of a laboratory experiment, using a variant of the strategy-method, we found that more than one third of the dyads are conditional cooperators, whereas 18% can be categorised as free riders.

The Provision of Public Goods with Positive GroupInterdependencies
Güth, Werner; Sääksvuori, Lauri - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2010
This article examines the nature of human behavior in a nested socialdilemma referred to as the Spillover Game. Players are divided into twogroups with positive production interdependencies. Based on theoreticallyderived opportunistic, local, and global optima, our experimental...

Communication in Asymmetric Group Competition over Public Goods
Zhang, Jingjing - Department of Economics, McMaster University - 2009
This paper examines whether and how communication can help groups solve coordination and free-rider problems when they compete with another group for a public-good prize. We find that when group members make an anonymous individual decision on whether or not to contribute to the group success,...

Does aversion to the sucker's payoff matter in public goods games?
Bougherara, Douadia; Costa, Sandrine; Grolleau, Gilles; … - Laboratoire Études et Recherches Économiques … - 2009
A usual explanation to low levels of contribution to public goods is the fear of getting the sucker’s payoff (cooperation by the participant and defection by the other players). In order to disentangle the effect of this fear from other motives, we design a public good game where people have...

Individual Evolutionary Learning, Other-regarding Preferences, and the Voluntary Contributions Mechanism
Arifovic, Jasmina; Ledyard, John - Department of Economics, Simon Fraser University - 2012
The data from experiments with the Voluntary Contributions Mechanism suggest five stylized facts, including the restart … does. In addition, our theory answers some open questions concerning the data on partners-strangers experiments. One … generated by our model are quantitatively similar to data from a variety of experiments, and experimenters, and are insensitive …

Motives of Sanctioning: Equity and Emotions in a Public Good Experiment with Punishment
Crosetto, Paolo; Güth, Werner; Mittone, Luigi; Ploner, … - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
We study conditional cooperation based on a sequential two-person linear public good game in which a trusting first contributor can be exploited by a second contributor. After playing this game the first contributor is allowed to punish the second contributor. The consequences of sanctioning...
