In this experiment, you will participate in 6 trials, each of which has 20 rounds. The first two (Trial 1 and 2) are the same baseline trials while the other four (Trial 3, 4, 5, and 6) are different treatment trials.

At the beginning of each round in each trial, you will first know your current round, current earning, subsidy in this round, and the duration of your subsidy in this trial.

Then, you need to choose your preferred reservation wage (the minimum you could accept for a job), ranging from 1 to 10, and the sample size of job search intensity (how many jobs are you going to look for in this round) with search costs.

After it, job search simulation draws with container would determine whether you could get any job offer and the wage offer rate of the job offer. The number you choose for the sample size equals to the frequency of job search draw, and a job search draw is independent of each other. After draws, you will know your job offers with wage rates.

If you decide not to have any job search (you choose sample size at 0) or if all job offers you draw fail to provide you with wage offer rate greater than or equal to your reservation wage, you will not get any job.

If any job offer you draw provides you with wage offer rate greater than or equal to your reservation wage, you will get the job offer with wage rate. If you have multiple draws that meet the requirements, you will get the job offer with highest wage offer rate.

After simulation, you will know earning from wage offer in this experimental trial so far, and your total earning so far. Earning from wage offer in this experimental trial equals to the rest of rounds (including this round) multiple the wage offer rate from job offer. If you do not have any job offer after the whole experimental trial, you would get 0 in earning from wage offer.

If you fail to get any job offer, you will continue your job search in the next round until you get the job or the whole experimental trial ends.

If you get your job offer, this experimental trial will end. You will also know your total earning so far in this experimental trial.

After finishing all experimental trials, you will have 6 total earning from 6 trials. You are going to have another draw to decide your final payoff. Your final payoff would be 1 of these 6 total earning.
