Description
Economics Department Seminar Series welcomes you to a seminar by Kathleen Segerson from the University of Connecticut. They will discuss their paper, "Incentivizing Collective Action and Lending a Helping Hand," which explores incentives for individuals to “lend a helping hand” to fellow members of a group governed by a group performance scheme. Segerson will discuss a model of collective approaches that incorporates both effort and help and use the model to answer when a social planner might want to incentivize help (in addition to effort) and how help can be incentivized.
