Alternative rebate rules in the provision of a threshold public good: an experimental investigation

Article Abstract:

Individual behavior, total contribution levels and equilibrium frequency are affected by the choice rebate policy on public goods. Contributions tend to be greater under a utilization rebate policy than in a no rebate policy and in a proportional rebate policy. Rebate features have no significant impact on the amount of successful delivery of threshold public goods. A Utilization Rebate mechanism is further being recommended towards the achievement of an optimal contribution level or the amount of the public good being delivered.
