What is Stack Overflow Badges and User Behavior: An Econometric Approach about?

Does gamification work? This paper examines how Stack Overflow users behave when earning badges. A regression analysis of user activity logs shows users change their contribution amounts when earning some badges but not others. This paper adds new support to the growing literature that gamification works, but its efficacy is context-dependent . Alternative methods for motivating user contributions are considered.
