An analysis of price incentives in motivational crowding out reveals that price incentives tend to be higher than estimated in standard economic theory if civic duty prevails. Moreover, the application of price incentives in areas with intrinsic motivation should be carefully considered if to be effective and, in areas where intrinsic motivation has been crowded out, price motivation has been found to be very effective in gathering local support.
