摘要：We report and analyze the results of a series of classroom experiments on the voluntary provision of public goods.
Using fixed effect panel regression models we find that cooperation significantly increases when participants are forced
to guess the degree of overall cooperation. We also find that the possibility to make announcements during the
experiment enhances cooperation significantly although these commitments are not binding and heavily used for
cheating purposes. We suggest that this effect is due to attempts at restoring the announcements’ reputation in the
aftermath of heavy cheating.
