DOI: 10.1007/s11127-019-00669-5
Abstract: We model a society that values coherence between the long-term commitment of politicians to given levels of public good provision and current policy. In that context, we suggest a novel mechanism by which issuing government… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2020.106696
Abstract: Abstract Economic theory has invoked moral motivation as an explanation for the voluntary provision of public goods but is vague with regard to the specific moral concerns involved. Focusing on climate change as a case… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.econlet.2016.11.005
Abstract: We study the voluntary provision of a public good with private information when inputs are not perfectly substitutable. Modeling the production function as a mixture of order statistics of individual efforts, we bridge the extreme… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.econlet.2018.07.038
Abstract: We conduct experiments designed to test whether earning the endowment increases the difference between giving and taking public good games. We find that neither the type of game nor the source of endowment affect cooperation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpoleco.2017.11.007
Abstract: This study tests whether psychological attachment to a political party influences voluntary participation in a government-promoted public-good scheme, positing that cooperation is higher among households that identify with the party in government and lower among… read more here.

Public good provision by large groups – the logic of collective action revisited

DOI: 10.1016/j.euroecorev.2019.05.019
Abstract: The organization of collective action is extremely important for societies. A main reason is that many of the key problems societies face are public good problems. We present results from a series of laboratory experiments… read more here.

Abstract: This paper studies limits on executive authority by identifying a dynamic channel through which they interact with policy-making. The model features two agents, one of which becomes the incumbent in each of the two periods… read more here.
