dc.description.abstract |
In this paper we analyse contributions to a public good within an inter-generational
framework where at the end of each session one generation of subjects leave advice
for the succeeding generation via free form messages. Such advice can be private
(advice left by one player in generation t is given only to her immediate successor
in generation t +1) or public (advice left by players of generation t is made
available to all members of generation t +1). We estimate a panel regression model
that enables us to understand the dynamics of the process better and to highlight
the learning that occurs over time. Our estimation results show that contributions
in any period depend crucially on contributions in the previous period and on the
group average in the previous period - more specifically whether a subject's own
contribution in the previous period fell above or below the group average. We find
that in the public advice treatment when a subject's contribution fell below the
group average in the previous period there is a tendency on the part of that subject
to increase contributions in the next period. |
