Abstract
We present a model where players first decide whether to contribute or not, and then divide the worth that was created via – in particular – the mechanism proposed by de Clippel et al. We compare the incentives to contribute in this scenario with those under equal splitting, and thus illustrate that the social dilemma may be overcome in this way.
