{% extends "global/Page.html" %} {% block title %} Compensation and Payments {% endblock %} {% block content %}

Your compensation and any payment to charity will be based on your decisions from one randomly chosen period.

Your total compensation will be equal to a $1 fixed salary that your company pays to each manager, plus the portion of the discretionary budget you did not invest in socially responsible projects.


For example, suppose that in the period that was randomly chosen to determine compensation, you invested $4 in socially responsible projects – all of which you invested in the state-level project. Your total compensation for the study would be:

Salary $1.00
Discretionary budget funds retained ($6-$4) $2.00
Total Compensation $3.00

In addition, if the project(s) in which you invested in the randomly-chosen compensation period is/are successful, the charity you designate will receive the amount that you invested multiplied by the social impact score for that period. The outcome of each project will be determined from a random computer-generated draw based on the probabilities described earlier. For example, if successful, the $4 investment in a state-level socially responsible project above would result in a $12 payment ($4 * 3 social impact) to the charity of your choice.


All payments to charity generated by your actions and the actions of other participants will be made directly to the chosen charities. Confirmation of payments along with a list of participant ID numbers responsible for generating those payments will be sent to all study participants following the conclusion of the study.
