Choice architecture can facilitate collective action and coordination. In an intergenerational public-goods game (n=1,378), redirecting attention from past decisions to potential future decisions increased public-good contributions. In a coordination game (n=805), participants switched to a new group-norm only when option-labels did not violate personal identity at substantial loss of income.
