  • Description: We experimentally compare the consequences for group cooperation of two decision mechanisms involving the extension of group membership. We analyze an exogenous decision (random draw) and an endogenous decision (made by a particular group member) mechanism to extend a temporary agent's group membership. Our results reveal that the prospect of group membership extension affects not only the temporary but also the permanent group members' contributions with an endogenous mechanism.
