International climate cooperation needs to be negotiated among sovereign countries. The key to cooperation, and to countervail free riding, is reciprocity. Using game theory and a human subject experiment, we show that reciprocity can be built into the negotiation design. Human players negotiating a reciprocal common commitment are substantially more successful in promoting cooperation than when negotiating individual commitments. Moreover, focusing on a uniform common commitment strongly facilitates agreement, as compared to negotiating a vector of commitments, one for each player. Because a carbon price is a natural candidate for a uniform common commitment, our findings suggest that international climate negotiations should focus on reciprocal carbon pricing. Economists advocate carbon pricing for its cost efficiency, yet the role of carbon pricing for promoting cooperation could be at least as important.

The survey collects relevant information about respondents' financial literacy, financial inclusion and socio-demographics. Of particular interest are the financial knowledge, behaviour and attitudes as well as awareness and holding of financial products of adults in Germany. The questionnaire consists of 33 questions and covers e.g. topics such as keeping track of finances, making-ends-meet and longer-term financial planning. Furthermore, numeracy skills within a financial context and basic knowledge of financial concepts (e.g. time-value of money, compound interest or diversification) are tested.
The survey is coordinated by the OECD International Network on Financial Education (INFE) and was developed to provide internationally comparable data on financial literacy and financial inclusion. The first wave was carried out in 2010, and in total 1005 telephone interviews were conducted via random digit dialling by the Deutsche Bundesbank in cooperation with the market research institute GfK. The anonymized micro data is available as a Scientific Use File.
