Item Modeling Behavior in Public Goods Experiments(2016) Bennett, Paul Henry Malcolm; Bennett, Paul Henry Malcolm; Levy, David MThis dissertation analyzes the behavior of participants in the class of economics experiments known as public goods games. It is well established that most participants in public goods games do not play the Nash equilibrium of zero contributed to the public good initially.

The goal of this dissertation is to explain the observed behavior and to develop models that predict it.
