Abstract

Cet article étudie et compare l'impact d'une sanction monétaire collective (par le biais d'une augmentation de la pression fiscale) versus une recommandation par un tiers dans le cadre d'un jeu de bien public "à la Andreoni [1993]" autorisant la possibilité d'effet d'éviction. Nous testons également la corrélation entre l'effet des incitations et l'orientation sociale des sujets (au moyen d'un test SVO) sur les dispositions à contribuer au bien collectif. Nos résultats montrent que globalement la sanction est plus efficace que la recommandation et qu'en outre la menace de sanction a un effet disciplinant. Cependant, la sanction ainsi que sa menace ont un impact différencié selon l'orientation sociale des sujets. En particulier, contrairement aux individualistes et aux compétiteurs, les individus pro-sociaux n'y sont pas significativement sensibles.
