PUBLIC GOODS GAMES WITH COSTLY SWITCHING FROM A STATUS QUO

Abstract

We apply Guney and Richter’s (2016) choice model of costly switching from a status quo to public

goods games. We find that non-zero contribution into the public good can be optimal under a status quo

contribution level. Moreover, intermediate contribution levels are no longer optimal if the switching cost

depends only on the status quo contribution level but not on the contribution level the agent switches to.
