Sammendrag
Elected representatives serving their final period face only weak incentives to

provide costly effort. However, overlapping generations (OLG) models suggest that

exit prizes sustained by trigger strategies can induce representatives in their final

period to provide such effort. We evaluate this hypothesis using a simple OLG

public good experiment, the central treatment being whether exit prizes are

permitted. We find that a significantly higher number of subjects in their final period

contribute when exit prizes are permitted. However, this result does not originate

from use of trigger strategies. More likely explanations include gift-exchange and

focal-point effects.
