Social preferences for public provision of services : experimental evidence from Latin America

Bejarano, Hernán; Busso, Matias; Santos, Juan Francisco - 2026

We study how individuals in six Latin American countries value public versus private provision of education and healthcare using a survey experiment. Respondents were randomly assigned to vignettes that vary income, service quality, and provider type. Perceived quality is the main driver of...

Strategy-proof mechanism design with boundedly rational agents : theory and experiment

Nishizaki, Katsuhiko - 2026

In a strategy-proof mechanism, implementation theory mostly assumes that each agent is rational in the sense that the agent reveals its true preference to induce its most preferred outcome. This assumption is sufficient to guarantee that the agent seeks such an outcome, but not necessary because...

God, guilt, and giving : public good contribution among catholics and protestants

Cinnirella, Francesco; Della Lena, Sebastiano; Manzoni, … - 2026

This paper examines how religious ethic influences contributions to public goods. We develop a theoretical model distinguishing individualistic motivations - where people seek to meet individual moral standards - from collectivistic motivations - where behavior is guided by others' expectations....

Solving dilemma games with evolving conditional commitments

Oechssler, Joerg - 2026

I study a formal mechanism that can sustain Pareto optimality in a new and very broad class of dilemma games. In the absence of a central authority that could enforce multilateral agreements, the mechanism is based on binding unilateral commitments, which condition a playerís (possibly...

We use Gallup World Poll data from over 150 countries from 2009-2019 at both the individual and country levels to revisit the relationship between income and subjective wellbeing. Our inspiration is the paradox first proposed by Easterlin (1974), according to which higher incomes are associated...

Colombia's missing fiscal pact : the political and cultural foundations of weak taxation

Fergusson, Leopoldo - 2026

This paper argues that Colombia's taxation problems reflect a deeper political economy equilibrium shaped by extractive institutions, extreme inequality, and cultural norms that favor individual solutions over collective ones. Historical legacies produced a weak and often distrusted state, which...
