How well do economic games model collective climate action? : a scoping review

Martin, Lucie; Timmons, Shane; Martin, Lucie - 2026

This study critically and constructively assesses how 'economic games' contribute to climate policy research via a pre-registered systematic scoping review of 165 sources. Researchers use economic games as empirical tools to measure cooperation while experimentally controlling the presence,...

Contesting an international environmental agreement

Cole, Matthew T.; Lake, James; Zissimos, Benjamin - 2026

International environmental agreements (IEAs) often condition entry into force on ratification by a minimum number of countries, yet deep environmental commitments frequently face strong domestic political resistance. We study how IEA breadth, through minimum ratification thresholds (MRTs), and...

Optimal feedback dynamics against free-riding in collective experimentation

Chen, Chia-hui; Eraslan, Hülya; Ishida, Junichiro; … - 2024

We consider a dynamic model in which a principal decides what information to release about a product of unknown quality (e.g., a vaccine) to incentivize agents to experiment with the product. Assuming that the agents are long-lived and forward-looking, their incentive to wait and see other...

Public GoBs

Heyen, Daniel; Tavoni, Alessandro - 2025

GoBs are goods for which agents have non-monotonic preferences: more is beneficial only up to an ideal level, beyond which additional quantities become undesirable. We analyze public GoBs (non-excludable and non-rival) through a theoretical framework applicable to diverse contexts such as solar...

A game theoretic model for dual supply chains with green and non-green products and bi-directional free-riding and carbon policy

Ganguly, Sanchari; Das, Pritha; Maiti, Manoranjan - 2025

Cap-and-trade regulation is a strategy to reduce carbon emissions (CEs). During production, CEs are reduced by green technology. In a dual-channel supply chain (DCSC), customers try a product at an offline store but purchase it online (showrooming effect). Additionally, using internet...

New categories of conditional contribution strategies in the public goods game

Schäffer, Klaudia; Král, Adrienn; Kun, Ádám - 2025

Human cooperation is ubiquitous and instinctive. We are among the most cooperative species on Earth. Still, research mostly focuses on why we cooperate, instead of understanding why some of us do not do so. The public goods game can be used to map human cooperation as well as to study free...

Erroneous beliefs impede the implementation of cooperation-inducing mechanisms

Dertwinkel-Kalt, Markus; Eulenberg, Vincent; Feldhaus, … - 2025

In social dilemmas, cooperation failures often arise due to the absence of mechanisms that prevent free-riding and enhance cooperation. Given the critical role these mechanisms play in sustaining cooperation, why are they so frequently missing? To explore this, we conducted an online experiment...

Minimum resale price maintenance in the absence of point-of-sale service, agency or free-rider problems

We show that MRPM can increase manufacturer profits and total output even in the absence of traditional justifications based on point-of-sale services, retailer effort, or free-riding. The key insight is that MRPM mitigates channel conflict by altering how retailers balance extracting surplus...
