Frequently Asked Questions (6)
Q2. What is the effect of factor2i on the propensity to contribute?
Regarding the sensitivity to risky returns (measured by Factor2i), observe in model (3) that the higher the propensity to take higher risks as the authors move from panel P1 to P4, the higher the propensity to take the risk of contributing more.
Q3. What is the reason why a high percentage of money is perceived as risky?
investing a high percentage in a public good can be perceived as risky because it may imply a high potential loss, being this an incentive to free-ride.
Q4. What is the effect of the interacted variable rank on the contribution of the subject?
In the model specifications (2) to (4), the effect on contribution is captured by the interacted variable rank with the treatment dummies: the impact of past MPCR, indirectly measured by the variable, is stronger in treatment TH.
Q5. What is the effect of Factor1i on the willingness to contribute?
Concerning risk aversion, observe that Factor1i has no significant impact onindividual contribution levels, whereas the sensitivity to risk-returns positively affects the willingness to contribute.
Q6. What is the maximum return of the money invested in the public good?
In their treatment TH, the maximal return is 0.9, so that the money invested in the public good has a similar return to private consumption.
