    Asymmetric monitoring of a law in a public good game an experimental study
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Okan, Nedim; Giritligil, Ayça Ebru
    This paper aims to contribute to the experimental economics literature by testing the effect of asymmetric monitoring on the decision to follow the law with a controlled laboratory experiment. In a repeated public good game, we assign heterogeneous monitoring probabilities to subjects to create an abstract setting where individuals are not treated equally by the law. Average contributions and deterrence rates in treatments with low, high and asymmetric monitoring are compared to understand if the asymmetric implementation of the law affects subjects’ contributions to the public good. The experiment consists of two blocks of ten repeated rounds. By changing the monitoring regime in the second block, we aim to investigate how individual behaviour is affected by a shift between symmetric and asymmetric regimes. Experimental results indicate that there is no significant difference between the average contribution or deterrence rates of subjects who are monitored with the same probability under symmetric and asymmetric settings. Subjects who are monitored with high probability contribute more on average, and their contribution level is sustained through repeated rounds. In contrast, the average contribution of subjects who are monitored with a low probability decrease over time. Furthermore, a shift from symmetric to the asymmetric regime had no effect on subjects’ behaviour.
