Title: 

Including Donors in the Provision of Public Goods 

 

Abstract:

This talk presents experimental evidence for a new game capturing the
strategic interaction between donors and providers of public goods. Public
good providers can make decisions on investments in the public good while
donors can only send transfer payments to public good providers. I organize
the results around three complementary studies, analyzing different
institutional arrangements: equal distribution of payments and
conditionality (study 1); proportional payments, individual payments and
additionality (study 2); and competition among public good providers (study
3). The results show that equal payments to all public good providers do not
increase public good provision as compared to settings with no payments.
Moreover, conditionality and additionality do not increase public good
provision but achieve it at a lower cost to donors. Lastly, all transfer
payments that link relative effort to relative payments are similarly
capable of enhancing public good provision. The results thus support the
importance of linking relative rewards to relative effort for those that
provide the public goods in our societies.
