Abstract

We show that introducing a competitive preliminary stage in a sequential public good game
helps select one of the more cooperative leaders in the group. Using a modified second
price auction, we find that bids have a strong positive predictive power on individual contributions.
Moreover, evidence is provided that trust can explain voluntary and cooperative
leadership. However, followers reaction to voluntary leaders may rise free riding behaviour,
with uncertain effect on total public good provision.
