摘要
We compare the influence of endogenous leadership on group's contributions in a public goods game with an exogenously appointed leader and find that groups with voluntary leaders outperform groups with involuntary leaders. The decision to contribute last does not undermine cooperation. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
