Choosing the Carrot or the Stick? Endogenous Institutional Choice in Social Dilemma Situations (2010, background): “Voters, however, do not contribute significantly more than non-voters from the second period on, which is a possible indication that voters are conditional cooperators (Fischbacher et al., 2001; Fischbacher and Gächter, 2006; Gächter, 2007) who react to the contributions of nonvoters.”
