Cultural Education and the Voluntary Provision of Cultural Goods: An Experimental Study
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the effect that the possibility of investing in cultural education has on the voluntary contributions to a cultural good. This is done in a two-stage public-good experiment. We also provide treatments with different context in order to control for a possible framing effect. Our results show the absence of an effect of cultural education on the contributions to the cultural good and a slight increase in the allocations of subjects’ endowments to the cultural good when the cultural context is implemented in the laboratory.
