| We analyze a multiple collective goods game where individuals allocate their endowment between a private good and two identical public bads. Results show that the mean of investments into a public bad account increases by 14.2% when individuals face two rather than only one bad account. Moreover, this framing increases pure free riding behavior from 31.83% to 52.67%. |
