We present results from a multiple public goods experiment, where each public good produces benefits only if total … contributions to it reach a minimum threshold. The experiment allows us to compare a subject's behavior in a benchmark treatment … probability of coordination and discourage contributions. Introducing additional, less-efficient options does not alter …

Experimental studies have modeled individual funding of social projects as contributions to a threshold public good. We examine donors' behavior when they face multiple threshold public goods and the possibility of coordinating their contributions via an intermediary. Employing the experimental...

Given the centrality of the coordination dilemma as the number … goods implies massive coordination problems that originate from fewer contributions and result in lower profits. In this … setting, the most powerful coordination device turns out to be the existence of a single contribution option that stands out …
