We report experimental evidence on the voluntary provision of public goods under threshold uncertainty. By explicitly comparing two prominent technologies, summation and weakest link, we show that uncertainty is particularly detrimental to threshold attainment under weakest link, where low...

As predicted, we find that … individuals are able to coordinate on equilibria, but that coordination strongly depends on the network structure. Despite … frequent coordination failures, in graphs of size N=4 equilibrium play seems easier on network architectures with high (low …

In the … equilibrium of a global coordination game, where players choose the timing of their decision, a player who has sufficiently high … coordination: a learning effect (early decisions reveal information) and a complementarity effect (early decisions eliminate …

Recent research has shown that women shy away from competition more often than men. We evaluate experimentally three alternative policy interventions to promote women in competitions: Quotas, Preferential Treatment, and Repetition of the Competition unless a critical number of female winners is...
