| Research Abstract |
The objective of this research project is to analytically and empirically discuss how and in which environment people involve voluntary cooperation in relation to intrinsic motivation, by building theoretical frameworks. Concerning the analytical works, we incorporate moral and/or social motivations in the Elster's sense into economic models and show how these motivations affect people's behavior of voluntary cooperation and the effectiveness of public provision. In addition, concerning the empirical studies, we conduct two surveys : one is for forest management program in Kendal, Indonesia, and the other is for city transport issues in Beijin, China. These studies show the determinants of people's voluntary cooperation. Furthermore, we conduct experiments related to public goods provision and discuss people's behavior with the specification of the type of their social preferences.
