“…Furthermore, we build on the long-standing literature on the threshold public goods game (see Croson and Marks (2000) for a meta-analysis), which is a typical tool to frame fundraising (Andreoni, 1998;Rondeau and List, 2008;Cason and Zubrickas, 2019;Marini et al, 2020), as well as on a related body of research that studies other real-world settings characterized by multiple public goods (Blackwell and McKee, 2003;Bernasconi et al, 2009;Buchan et al, 2011;Catola et al, 2020). Last but not least, our findings also contribute to the literature on (i) equilibrium selection in games, with reference to the conflict between payoff and risk dominance (Harsanyi and Selten, 1988;Schmidt et al, 2003;Broseta et al, 2003;Février and Linnemer, 2006;Gold and Colman, 2020), (ii) delegation, as a mechanism to prevent coordination failure (Hamman et al, 2011;Kocher et al, 2018;Butera and Houser, 2018;Fernández Domingos et al, 2022), and (iii) donors' overhead aversion, which usually emerges when a portion of the donations is intended to cover administrative and fundraising costs (Bowman, 2006;Gneezy et al, 2014;Meer, 2014;Portillo and Stinn, 2018).…”
