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 …

Conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion
Cubitt, Robin P.; Gächter, Simon; Quercia, Simone - 2015
We investigate whether there is a link between conditional cooperation and betrayal aversion. We use a public goods game to classify subjects by type of contribution preference and by belief about the contributions of others; and we measure betrayal aversion for different categories of subject....

Heterogeneous Reactions to Heterogeneity in Returns from Public Goods
Fischbacher, Urs; Schudy, Simeon; Teyssier, Sabrina - Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Universität Konstanz - 2012
how heterogeneity in returns and uncertainty affects unconditional and conditional contribution behavior in a linear … investigate belief-independent and type-specific reactions to heterogeneity. We find that, on average, heterogeneity in returns … heterogeneity reduces conditional contributions slightly. Individual reactions to heterogeneity differ systematically. Selfish …

Heterogeneous Social Preferences and the Dynamics of Free Riding in Public Goods
Fischbacher, Urs; Gächter, Simon - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006
We provide a direct test of the role of social preferences in voluntary cooperation. We elicit individuals' cooperation preference in one experiment and make a point prediction about the contribution to a repeated public good. This allows for a novel test as to whether there are "types" of...

Divided Loyalties or Conditional Cooperation? An experimental study of contributions to multiple public goods
McCarter, Matthew W.; Samak, Anya C.; Sheremeta, Roman M. - Economic Science Institute (ESI), Argyros School of … - 2013
It is common in organizational life to be simultaneously involved in multiple collective actions. These collective actions may be modeled using public good dilemmas. The developing social dilemma literature has two perspectives – the “divided loyalties” and “conditional cooperation”...
