We experimentally study the effect of information about competitors' actions on cartel stability and firms' incentives to form cartels in Cournot markets.

For reward-based crowdfunding, we introduce the strategy-proof Generalized Moulin-Shenker mechanism (GMS) and compare its performance to the prevailing All-Or-Nothing mechanism (AON). Theoretically, GMS outperforms AON in equilibrium profit and funding success. We test these predictions...
