Abstract

We report an experiment designed to test for gender differences and group size effects in a repeated minimum effort game. We consider all-male, all-female and mixed gender treatments. We also vary the size of the groups, which can consist either of 3 or 6 members. Our findings indicate significant group size effects but no significant gender differences across treatments.
