If you are selected to be a Seller for the experiment:
In each round you'll be randomly paired with a Buyer, who carries a certain amount of money, known to both Seller and Buyer.
You can make as many offers as you'd like regarding how much Output to produce and sell, and the Payment you'd like to receive for them.
You will also receive offers from the Buyer regarding how much Output they'd like to buy, and the Payment they'd like to make for them.
The cost of producing said Output, q, for you as a Seller (expressed in $) is: C(q)={{B|to2}}q{{b}}
The bargaining concludes if you accept an offer from the Buyer, they accept one of your offers, or you run out of time.
If an agreement is reached you'll incur the cost of production and receive the agreed Payment, if NO agreement is reached there will be no production or Payment.
At the end of each round, regardless of whether an agreement is reached, you will receive a fix amount of {{seller_endowment|cu|to0}}.
Thus, your payoff for the round will be calculated as follows:
Agreed Payment minus the above-mentioned Output production cost plus your fix amount:
