Behavioural Development Economics: Lessons from Field Labs in the Developing World (2008, background): “For example, Cardenas (2003a) shows how mixing economic classes affects play in a CPR game.”
Land Reforms, Poverty Reduction, and Economic Growth: Evidence from India (2008, unknown): “…and Verdier 2000); high inequality reducing local communities’ willingness and ability to provide public goods that benefit all inhabitants (Cardenas 2003); and a link between inequality and destructive tensions and social strife that can directly and indirectly undermine the basis for…”
Inequality and public good provision: An experimental analysis (2008, background): “The importance of the salience of inequality is also consistent with recent research demonstrating that some—but not all—measures of group heterogeneity are negatively associated with the efficacy of collective action (e.g., Alesina and La Ferrara, 2000; Cardenas, 2003; Costa and Kahn, 2003a,b).”
The challenge of understanding decisions in experimental studies of common pool resource governance (2011, background): “For example, Cardenas found that “social distance and group inequality based on the economic wealth of the people in the group seemed to constrain the effectiveness of communication for this same sample of groups” (Cardenas, 2003).”
Public Goods Provision and Sanctioning in Privileged Groups (2007, background): “Cardenas (2003) finds that real-life income inequalities between Colombian villagers make the use of communication less effective in increasing cooperation inside the lab.”
Public Participation and Institutional Fit: A Social–Psychological Perspective (2013, background): “For instance, Cardenas (2003) reports a field experiment, in which socioeconomic stratification (U2) seemed to have created similar coordination problems (cf. Kanbur 1992).”
Norms from outside and from inside: an experimental analysis on the governance of local ecosystems (2004, background): “For instance, real wealth distances among villagers could play a role in creating more difficult the achievement of a credible commitment towards cooperation, as studied in another set of field experiments (Cardenas, 2003a).”
The value-added of laboratory experiments for the study of institutions and common-pool resources (2006, background): “Cardenas also found that ‘social distance and group inequality based on the economic wealth of the people in the group seemed to constrain the effectiveness of communication for this same sample of groups’ (Cardenas, 2000, p. 317; see also Cardenas, 2003).”
