Please note that you are paired with another person for this study. Please complete the entire study and do not stop or exit during the study. There will be 'dropout checks' throughout the study to ensure you and your partner are still actively participating. This is to make sure that you or your partner won't be waiting too long if one of you drops out. Therefore, please wait on the wait pages in today's session - it should not be for long.



Please read the instructions carefully.

It is important that you understand all the instructions because the amount of money you earn will depend on your understanding of the instructions and the choices you make during the experiment.

For this experiment we will use an experimental currency called “Lira”. The Lira you earn will be converted into dollars and you will be paid within the next week or two of your completion of the study. Every 50 Lira you earn will be converted into $1.00.

Regardless of the outcome of the study, you will receive a participation fee of $1.00.


In today’s session, you will be paired with another participant and engage in a decision-making task for 7 rounds. You will remain in this pairing for every round. Each pairing (Manager and Employee) represents a business, and each round represents a project. The manager funds the project and the employee oversees the project. {{ if player.id_in_group == 2 }} Your role in the pair is the Manager. Your partner’s role is the Employee. In each round, the Employee will submit a budget report to you for you to review. {{ else }} Your role in the pair is the Employee. Your partner’s role is the Manager. In each round, you will submit a budget report to the Manager for them to review. {{ endif }}


The decisions you make will affect both members of the pairing’s earnings so it is important that you read and understand all instructions. Your payment will be based on one randomly selected round from rounds 1 through 7, so you should treat round as if it will be the round used for payment.

On the next screen you will receive instructions specific to your role.
