Voting and Contributing when the Group Is Watching
研究了群体成员在投票决定贡献规则时，声誉关注如何影响投票和后续贡献行为，发现贡献可见性可能降低福利。
Members of groups and organizations often have to decide on rules that regulate their contributions to common tasks. They typically differ in their propensity to contribute and often care about the image they project; in particular, they want to be perceived by other group members as being high contributors. In such environments we study the interaction between how members vote on rules and their subsequent contribution decisions. We show that making contributions visible affects the calculus of reputation and the voting decisions, and can be welfare decreasing as it makes some rules more likely to be rejected.
