Conte, Anna; Levati, Maria Vittoria; Montinari, Natalia - 2014

whether behavior in public goods games is affected by experience (i.e., previous participation in social dilemma …-type experiments) and history (i.e., participation in experiments of a different class than the social dilemma). We have three main … experience. Second, a mixture model reveals that the proportion of unconditional cooperators decreases with experience, while …

The Effect of Protest Votes on the Estimates of Willingness to Pay for Use Values of Recreational Sites

Strazzera, Elisabetta; Genius, Margarita; Scarpa, Riccardo - 2014

Selectivity bias caused by protest responses in Contingent Valuation studies can be detected and corrected by means of sample selection models. This paper compares two methods: the Heckman 2-steps method and the full ML, applied to data on forest recreation - where WTP is elicited as a...

Sample Selection Model for Protest Votes in Contingent Valuation Analyses

Calia, Pinuccia; Strazzera, Elisabetta - 2003

Respondents of contingent valuation surveys may place a null value on the public good, for reasons that differ from a genuine indifference to the good, but that can be interpreted as a "protest": either against the interview, or the public management, or both. A good survey design can...

Securely Implementable Social Choice Functions in Divisible and Non-Excludable Public Good Economies with Quasi-Linear Utility Functions

Nishizaki, Katsuhiko - 2016

This paper studies the possibility of secure implementation (Saijo, T., T. Sjöström, and T. Yamato (2007) "Secure Implementation," Theoretical Economics 2, pp. 203-229) in divisible and non-excludable public good economies with quasi-linear utility functions. Although Saijo, Sjöström, and...

Voting in international environmental agreements : experimental evidence from the lab

Dannenberg, Astrid - 2010

This paper experimentally analyzes the effects if signatories to an international environmental agreement (IEA) apply different voting schemes to determine the terms of the agreement. To this end, unanimity, qualified majority voting, and simple majority voting are compared with respect to the...

A maximal domain for strategy-proof and no-vetoer rules in the multi-object choice model

Hatsumi, Kantaro; Berga Colom, Dolors; Serizawa, Shigehiro - 2011 - This version: March 23, 2011

Following Barberà, Sonnenschein, and Zhou (1991, Econometrica 59, 595-609), we study rules (or social choice functions) through which agents select a subset from a set of objects. We investigate domains on which there exist nontrivial strategy-proof rules. We establish that the set of separable...

Social preferences, beliefs and the dynamics of free riding in public good experiments

Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - 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,...

Social preferences, beliefs, and the dynamics of free riding in public good experiments

Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - 2008

We provide a test of the role of social preferences and beliefs in voluntary cooperation and its decline. We elicit individuals' cooperation preferences in one experiment and use them as well as subjects' elicited beliefs to explain contributions to a public good played repeatedly. We find...
