There has been an increasing interest in non-pecuniary measures to encourage pro-social behavior. Among these is the use of social comparison, or behavioral information. Individuals often conform their behavior to that exhibited by their peers. This dissertation explores the impact of this behavioral information on collective action in social dilemmas.

520 $a There has been an increasing interest in non-pecuniary measures to encourage pro-social behavior. Among these is the use of social comparison, or behavioral information. Individuals often conform their behavior to that exhibited by their peers. This dissertation explores the impact of this behavioral information on collective action in social dilemmas.
520 $a The first chapter systematically reviews the extensive, yet fragmented, literature on social comparison in order to begin assessing their applicability as a policy tool. To do so, the review draws on literature from a number of different disciplines, paying particular attention to experimental literature, to begin to identify the conditions under which behavioral information may be successful in encouraging welfare improving behavior.
520 $a The second chapter explores (in a lab experiment utilizing a linear public goods game) the use of voluntary disclosure to provide behavioral information when such information is not otherwise available. It finds that individuals tend to disclose their contributions when given the option, suggesting that voluntarily disclosed behavioral information remains a possible policy option when the cost of information collection is high. In addition, voluntarily revealed contributions are significantly higher than contributions under mandated disclosure, ultimately leading to greater cooperation, under certain conditions, when voluntary disclosure occurs.
520 $a The final chapter is an experimental test of the impact of networked behavioral information on collective action. Social networks can be critical in the spreading of pro-social behavior, but their effect is diverse and complex. Focusing on one particular aspect of this effect, this study examines how information on others' behavior affects individuals' donation behavior in a threshold public good setting. The study finds that in these settings, when behavioral information networks span minimal coalitions (i.e., the minimal number of individuals necessary to provide a discrete public good), groups are more likely to be successful in overcoming the social dilemma problem.
