Based on a laboratory experiment we examine the behavioral implications of different distributions of risks. Specifically, we create a series of modified investment games where an investment is linked to giving to a charity and we manipulate the risk in the private payoff and in the public payoff to the charity jointly. With this, we elicit individuals' reactions to interrelated private and public risks and furthermore we investigate investment decisions in impure public goods.
