Abstract The main goal of this Project is to present a thesis proposal where we analyze collective-action situations over distinct settings. In doing so, we plan to review the literature related to experiments in Social Science Research, with an emphasis on the areas of Business Management and the Economics of Organizations. We also plan to run several laboratory and field experiments related to situations involving collective actions, such as public goods provision and management of common resources in diverse settings (colleges, agricultural cooperatives and rural settlements). Our analysis will focus on the behavior of individuals and groups, with special emphasis over their social networks and collective arrangements. After running the experiments, we hope to provide a detailed account of the results obtained, as well as a comparative analysis across settings. In particular, we want to answer the following question: could laboratory experiments' results be extrapolated to the field? The main advantage of running experiments in different settings is to verify the robustness of the main results obtained, attempting to capture institutional differences related to the Brazilian context.
