This is what is called an individual choice experiment. That means that your choices only affect your own payment.

You start each round with an experimenter benefit. That is {{C.EXPERIMENTER_BENEFIT}} that you receive at the start of each round.

You also receive payment for a task. For this task, you will help with a university mail campaign by either (1) neatly folding one piece of paper into thirds (2) stuffing the tri-folded paper into an envelope or (3) addressing and stamping envelops. You will receive a wage for each task completed and each round of the experiment will require you to complete {{C.NUM_TASKS}} tasks.

Each round you choose a wage per task completed from a menu of three wages. You can earn {{C.LOW_WAGE}} per task completed, {{C.MIDDLE_WAGE}} per task completed, or {{C.HIGH_WAGE}} per task completed. You will do {{C.NUM_TASKS}} of these tasks each round.

If your total earnings from tasks completed is larger than {{C.BENEFIT_THRESHOLD}} then the experimenter benefit becomes $0.

There are three rounds in the experiment. At the end of each round, you will see:

  1. The wage you chose this round
  2. Tasks you completed this round
  3. Earnings from the task this round
  4. Earnings from the experimenter benefit this round
  5. Total earnings this round

After all three rounds have been completed, one round will be selected using a random number generator, and you will be paid the corresponding total earnings from that round.
