Description The paper is focused on using the experimental economics for demonstration of public goods problems. The goal of the experiment is to verify the free riding model in voluntary contributions mechanism to public goods. The experiment took place in 11 classes of the public economics; the average number of students in each class was 28. The experiment was prepared on the basis of HOLT AND LAURY classroom game. The results of our experiment largely confirm theoretical hypothesis of human behavior consistent with their dominant strategy, it means the low level of cooperation in situations like Prisoner Dilemma.
